Writing resources
July 26, 2009June must be the month for publishing compilations of writing resources and tools!
In June 2008, a list of 100 Useful Web Tools for Writers was posted on the CollegeDegrees.com blog.
And in June 2009, Smashing Magazine had a list of 50 Free Resources That Will Improve Your Writing Skills.
While there is some crossover between the lists (Smashing Magazine even mentions the 100 Useful Web Tools site), the lists are different enough to cater for all types of writers and the various issues that writers might come across.
