Resource Central: Part Two UPDATED 10/03/09

Journal Entry: Tue Mar 10, 2009, 3:53 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.

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

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