Resource Central: Part Two UPDATED 10/03/09

Journal Entry: Tue Mar 10, 2009, 4:53 AM




What's this?



Welcome to Resource Central: Part Two, maintained, updated, and generally played around with by me (`lovetodeviate). Feel free to dip into this resource pool whenever you need help with a particular aspect of writing, or just browse through. Recent additions are marked :new:.

This journal contains resources relating to the literature community on deviantART. For resources on writing (prose and poetry), critiquing, revising and publishing, try Resource Central: Part One.

You can help by linking me to a helpful resource you found or by creating one of your own. Preferably, write on a topic that no one has before, but overlap is also OK.

There is no greater feeling.
Then that of possibility.
This even relates to the Ant.
This is quite informative. Thanks for posting. I have to have a look at part one now.

I crave cocoa when the wind hits my door; classic conditioning.

You should try not to live too much, you could end up dying.
Part one is filled with writing resources. Nothing like the blurbs of wisdom, but still, there's some good stuff in there. :)

The link in your sig for part one doesn't seem to be working.

once you begin to do what is right, who will be able to do what is left?
Bertolt Brecht - "Because things are the way they are, things will not stay the way they are."
How else can I make myself useful?

Scour the internet for spelling errors?

Hrm...
