I’m amazed at the seemindly endless free resources available to noobie writers like myself. Early on when I was writing Balance, I used a few writers forums to bounce some ideas around. The feedback was fantastic and hey presto I finished the book!
I know if I had the time I could easily sink many hours into surfing around writers, publishers and agents sites / blogs. With my limited writing opportunities I tend to make the most of the available time and primarily focus on getting at least a page down each day. Although in truth, especially of late for some reason, I find the draw of these sites almost irresistible.
For anyone who is reading this and starting out in writing (hello?… are you listening???), Google is your friend!
For those times when writing is not practical, such as washing the dishes, I find listening to a great podcast to be very productive. I like podcasts because you get to hear the emphasis people put on what they are saying, it’s a lot like being in class at school err way back when. If it’s trying to write or maybe trying to get published, nothing beats hearing from someone who has done what you are striving to do.
In short, podcasts rock!
I’ve added a few various links of late on my links page. Why not go check them out, some are really cool!
