Writing is a solitary craft. But with so many writers out
there going through the same pain, blockage, frustration and burn-out,
sometimes it helps to turn to another writer for help.
There's a ton of wonderful advice out there for the taking.
Below are a list of websites that will help you sort out your
writing woes and get back to writing better than ever.
Writer's Digest
has stood the test of time and is an old favorite of many writers for good reason.
Their tagline is “Write Better, Get Published” and the site is geared
towards exactly that. Informative articles from professional writers and
editors about everything from improving your craft to the business side of
writing. Plus information on retreats, workshops, publishers and writing
competitions.
Poets & Writers has
been offering support for writers since its print version first came out in
1970. Today, it's web version offers in-depth articles from featured writers
and a great “Tools for Writers” section that includes “Prompts for Writers.”
Also, it's difficult to find such comprehensive guide to reputable grants and
awards as theirs.
Write to Done is a gem
for writers. Writer Mary Jaksch doles out valuable advice with posts such as
“How to Rekindle Your Love of Writing” and “How to Supercharge Your Writing-Use
this Cinematic Technique.” She also offers a personalized critique service.
Writer Unboxed
allows you to benefit from the experiences of dozens of contributing
professional writers. With posts on a variety of topics, all geared to make
your writing better, there's bound to be something to inspire you on this site.
Freelance
Writing has bestowed upon its visitors a free ebook with four chapters to
that serve to guide your writing towards its best possible incarnation. Say
“thank you.”
Men With Pens is
just as it sounds: a no-nonsense business oriented approach to good marketing
and better writing. Founded by the formidable James Chartrand (who is actually
a woman) who has the equivalent of a writer's black-belt with articles in
Forbes, The New York Times and Newsweek. Pro tips and services offered on her
site.
The Renegade
Writer is an ultimate freelancer's advice blog. Its caveat is that it
refuses to give you the same advice that's out there for freelancers (you need
a blog, you need to slog through crappy jobs before you can land a
decent-paying one, etc.) and gives you real advice based on authors Linda
Formichelli and Diana Burell's experiences. Take their advice and you won't
literally be the same.
Terrible
Minds is the blog from novelist, screenwriter and game designer Chuck
Wendig. He dishes out raw advice to writers with the occasional adult language
thrown in for emphasis.
Kristen
Lamb's Blog adds a humorous touch to the sometimes over-serious art of
writing. Read along as she drops pearls of writing wisdom in your lap with a
generous helping of wit.
Absolute Write
is absolutely comprehensive. It caters to those dedicated to “freelance
writing, screenwriting, playwriting, writing novels, nonfiction, comic book
writing, greeting cards, poetry, songwriting...”. If you fit into one of those
categories (and who doesn't?) then this site has something to offer you. Lots
of helpful posts on developing craft, marketing, publishing and more.
Jane Friedman's
list of credentials is long. She brings her writing, editing, publishing and
marketing expertise to your fingertips with her blog. The focus is on writing
in the digital age and Friedman will keep you current while honing your craft
into a fine-tuned machine.
