I've got ideas. I want to write. So, how do I...

I have written a little of everything - screenplays, short stories, novels, poetry, articles and even a grant proposal once upon a time for a nuclear reactor for a professor's lab. And I am most definitely a cyber pack rat, collecting resources all along the way to honing my writing skills and just trying to keep up to date on what's out there in Writing Land. Actually, some of my listed resources may be oldies but goodies but they're goodies for a reason. So, home in on the topics of interest to you and click away on those links. Who knows? You might find something useful. 

Just to get you started, here's your first writing tip: JUST WRITE. You don't have to produce Shakespeare or an Academy Award with your first pearls on paper. It is okay to just jump in and start muddling through. Just..start. Then you can worry about revising when you get a goodly clump of words on that paper. But.. just.. get.. started. That's how you do it. 

I've tried to neatly categorize the links but there will be overlap in relevance. Something you see under the category of novels might also apply to short stories or screenwriting and so on. Let your eyes - and mind - wander.

DISCLAIMER: This is a FREE website provider and it seems they are inserting their own "ad links" to some of the text I've written. I just want you to know, it wasn't me.
