Links

Here's a collection of websites that are useful for any writer, aspiring or otherwise.

Holly Lisle - Probably not a writer you've heard of, she has a LOT of book in print, but has mostly stayed a midlist author. Still you'll have trouble finding a website with more useful info for writers.

Vision for Writers - An online magazine for writers, it really gets into the nitty-gitty of writing.

Forward Motion - A writing community and a good place to find advice, critique and encouragement from writers in the same place as you.

Atsiko's Chimney - Geared towards more fantasy fiction writers, has some useful post covering more of the technical side of writing fantasy fiction.

Gail Carson Levine - You may know her as the author of Ella Enchanted, but she's has a great blog on writing as well. While she mostly focuses on questions, her answers are always insightful. She also generally has great writing prompts and covers a wide range in topics from basic writing to more advanced subjects.

Inky Girl's Blog for Writers - Besides the often hilarious writing related comics, this blog serves as a great resource for other writers. It points towards other blogs, interviews and advice for would-be published authors.

Writing Excuses - A great, hilarious and useful podcast by three writers (one is Brandon Sanderson the writer who took over the Wheel of Time series after Robert Jordan died). They also cover a range of topics and the podcasts never last longer then 15 minutes.

Odyssey Workshop - A hardcore workshop for would-be fantasy/sci-fi writers, it also sports an nice podcast that are recordings from the lectures of the workshop itself and online classes. The Podcast alone is worth checking out even if classroom writing isn't your thing. And checkout the Livejournal, links, and general advice to writers as well.

SFWA - A great website for everyone not just fantasy/sci-fi writers. And don't forget to check out the rest of the website too.

Nanowrimo - A yearly writing exercise when the writers try to write 50,000 word in the month of november. The forums are active anytime of year and are a great place to get advice and talk about writing. Also check out the sister program Scriptfrenzy which is in April.

In some of the other posts I'll have links that relate more directly with the topics, these are just general writing related topics.
