Writer Resources

I recently realized that writing a story good enough to get published isn't just about writing an amazing setting, realistic characters, and an amazing plot. A good story has a lot of "crafting", or careful wording to draw the readers in and keep them fully involved in your story, and other writing factors such as point of view and speed of the story.
Although I will be putting links to specific articles, as well as my opinions on them, here are some good places to look for writing ideas.

Craftingfiction is a very good website for fiction writers and freelancers although it tends to focus more on craft than specific genres, such as science fiction.

Writinghood is a blog for writers of any version. Whether you write online, fiction, or nonfiction, you're sure to find something just for you on this site.

Although the site is aimed at getting you to buy one of their many classes, it does have some good articles such as a questionnaire to fill out to help create your character.

Another site designed to sell, this one aims to have you subscribe to a magazine called "The Writer" and has some excellent articles.
