Writer resources
I was wondering if anyone would be willing to share some of their go-to writer resources. Extra points (and the points mean nothing and get you nowhere) to those who can provide good FREE resources!! Here’s two of mine: https://trackbear.app/ https://www.wordhippo.com/ Now… go forth writer souls and share the resources!

Hi, Tami! Oddly enough, you win ‘points’ for engaging in this forum, which causes you to go up levels, and does unlock resources! But I would like to hear everyone else’s ideas. Curtis Brown’s website has some useful stuff for things like synopses.

@Tami Winbush Love the true crime podcast. Is this setting the scene for a crime story?

@Tami Winbush interesting. It would be fun if what he was listening to somehow prefigured the plot.

What are people writing at the moment?
Sorry if not allowed to start a discussion, but as we approach Christmas, wondered what people write over the holidays?

Everyone should feel free to start discussions! I very much encourage it. I am writing a murder mystery set in Russia. What about you? Will you have some time to write over Christmas?

@Louis Urbanowski It’s definitely a medium where you have to focus on plot and structure. I did start with the notion of who had done it and how the reader would be led to miss/eventually realise this. But it’s the characters that matter most. You sound like you have a great need to write… that’s wonderful.
