Creative Writing Toolkit: Online Creative Writing

Online Creative Writing

Online creative writing is generally free and a cheap and flexible resource. I have used the following:

National Novel Writing Month - I can't say enough good things about NaNoWriMo! Get rid of the self-editor in you and write with abandon. You will be shocked at the amount of words you can put to paper when you put your mind to it - some of it good, some of it not so much. But at the end of the month, when you cross that finish line with a 200 page draft, it is all worth it!

Free online creative writing, why not?

One.Page.Per.Day - Just as the name suggests, write one page per day. The site is very simple, and so is the premise.

Do you have any online creative writing resources?

Welcome to Creative Writing Toolkit

Creative writing is an art, and writing a novel is a challenge, especially for those of us who do not possess an MFA or have a published novel or short story to our credit (yet). The entire creative writing prospect can be downright intimidating. Though I am still in the midst of trying to figure this whole thing out, I have managed to put together a useful collection of resources along the way (i.e., my Creative Writing Toolkit) and I am happy to share with anyone who may be interested.

Various friends have asked me how I go about learning the craft, and my answer is generally a description of the resources included in the Creative Writing Toolkit. Of course this is limited to my own perspective. And that is where you come in, please make suggestions and share your thoughts so that I can make this page a true resource for our community.

About Creative Writing Toolkit

The idea was simple, put together a comprehensive list of resources for the first time or otherwise aspiring novelist.

Why? Well I haven't really found anything else out there!

How? For starters, I have included the resources that I found, and continue to find, incredibly helpful during my journey through the life-cycle of a novel: starting, revising, and publishing.

This is meant to be a collaborative undertaking, so please do share your resources, thoughts, or objections to anything posted on this site.
