| Have any links to valuable writer sites you want to share? Any editor/publisher blogs that shine some light on the dark world of publishing? Post the link here with a little description of what the site is about | |

| Whoop. I have TONS of helpful links. And they are: 1. The Association of Author's RepresentativesDesc.: This site is amazing. You can search for literary agents by category, location, whether they're accepting queries and pretty much everything else. 2. I am Your EditorDesc.: This link is to an article about submitting your novel to an agent. It also has links to other articles on the bottom of the page. 3. InkyGirlDesc.: This site is run by Debbie Ridpath Ohi, and features "daily distractions for writers." It's pretty amazing. There's also a weekly comic strip, titled "Will Write for Chocolate" that can also be found at www.willwriteforchocolate.com.4. Hatrack RiverDesc.: This is Orson Scott Card's official site. In addition to just being awesome, it has a section just for writing workshops and a q&a about writing with "Uncle" Orson. 5. StoryToolzDesc.: Okay, this site is freaking amazing. It has wordcount monitors and progress meters as well as readability calculators and, my personal favorite, random conflict generators. Those generators pulled me out of a dark, depressing bout of WB and helped me get the idea for my NaNoWriMo novel. 6. The Seventh SanctumDesc.: Okay, this site is rather infamous because every single one of the generators varies from silly to outright stupid, but I just love it. I once spent four hours just hitting the "Generate" button on the "Brain-Hurting Fanfic Pairer" because I was bored. I've been fiddling with it again for the past few minutes and I got Inspector Gadget and d'Artagnan...yeah. It's a GREAT site for procrastination and one or two of the generators are actually kind of useful. Sort of. Maybe. Perhaps. If you're desperate. Okay, that is all for now. | |

| You should all be reading Nathan Bransford's blog. He's an agent with tons of helpful advice. Query Tracker and the Emotion Thesaurus are great, too. but that was listed below. I'm creating a Location Thesaurus , but haven't gotten it up and running yet. I will soon. | |

| Procrastination sites: How Many of Me?Desc.: Type in your name and the generator calculates approx. how many people in the USA have your (or, *cough*, your character's) name. Jostens Class Ring DesignerDesc.: Okay, this is one that I have a lot of fun with. I design class rings for my characters!!! And then I use the print screen button to capture the final design. You have to plug in an actual school, so what I do for the characters that go to schools that I've made up is this: use my own high school. Anyway... Oh, and designing the ring is completely free. Just don't hit the "buy" button at the end... | |
