The Resource List for Writers

(The incomplete, yet beneficial list of Internet Writer Resources)

Although this list is of course, not a comprehensive one, I believe it is helpful for writers to have a list of resources in a single location.  

A few words of caution are needed. If you click on any of the links below, you may find that hours may pass unnoticed. You may be late for your appointments, or miss them entirely. 

The author of this post is in no way responsible for hours lost at work, or for any loss of productivity resulting from time spent to click on the links below. 

Caveat Emptor applies here, even though no purchase may have been made.  

The reader is wholly responsible for his or her own time, and the writer assumes no responsibility for your total immersion in the content found on the following websites.

Immerse away, and please enjoy!

OK, this blog is getting a bit lonely, so I wanted to add a discussion of a blog post that I found thoroughly entertaining.  I could easily spend an hour or more on it. Let me know if you feel the same.

Jon Morrow, is an accomplished blogger, and blogger trainer. I'm not sure I agree with his proposition that you should spend upwards of 20 hours on your blog posts.  (I confess to have spent more than an hour on a single post - which I feel is probably excessive, given my time contraints).  In any event, Morrow's latest post is filled with links to some extraordinarily interesting blogs that should not be missed.

Jon Morrow is not just a blogger.  He has turned blogging into a craft, over which he is a master.

101 Writing Resources That'll Take You From Stuck to Unstoppable.

This is the triumph of the Internet! I am recommending his blog post mainly because of his links.  I'm not saying his prose is not worthly of attention, but his links .....  wow!  I hope you feel the same way, and let me know if you do, or do not.

(Actually, I have one more confession, I have not yet visited all the links on the post).  It is sort of a work in process, but I wanted to let readers know about this resource as soon as possible.  Everything is for the benefit of the reader on this blog, "everyone knows that".  (Like in the Geico commercials). Note:  the preceding was a non-commercial non-endorsement of a known trademarked brand name.

YouTube is an additional resource for writers

Congratulations to all hurricane, (or tropical storm survivors)!  We certainly were hard hit by flooding in NJ.  I didn't experience it first hand, but I know many people who did, and it was quite a harrowing experience.

Welcome to the first post following a rather pleasant summer, (except for the 108 degree temperature we briefly experienced.)

I have made a number of posts on writer's resources on this blog, but these were links to blogs and web sites, RSS feeds, etc.  YouTube is another information resource for writers, and I wanted to pass along a video that I ran across.  

There are many how-to type videos available for writers, this is just one example, and it may not be the best.   I just thought it would alert our group about what is available on YouTube, the 3rd most visited site on the Internet.

Good Luck in your US Web Site Promotion and Writing efforts in 2011 !

Image via WikipediaI hope you like the new blog look.  I like to change the template every few months to make it a little more interesting, and this is a new template that became available.  Let me know what you think !

Here is an interesting post from Lifehacker concerning online education.  Over the past decade, more and more major universities have started to provide lectures on a wide variety of subjects available to the general public,  (at no charge).  This article explores the ever-expanding world of online education, including free written course ware, and even free online textbooks.

2010 saw a new field of work for me, that took up a considerable amount of my time and intensity, in order to learn new software and programming techniques for 5-axis programming.  I did not have as much time to devote to online writing as I would have liked in 2010.

I have recently resumed my weekly keyword training class online.  If anyone is interested, they only need to sign up for a free Veretekk marketing system at http://jonlomb.veretekk.com.  I should be able to make free web site promotion training available to the general public in early 2011. 

I intend to maintain a much more active Internet presence in 2011, including this blog.  You can always check out my main blog at Web Site Promotion for my latest blog posts and even subscribe to the RSS feed, by RSS reader, or by email, by clicking on the keep updated icon at the top right of the page. 

Good Luck, and God Bless all your writing efforts in 2011.
