Writing Resources

I love writing, but I also love teaching writing and encouraging or coaching other writers. This part of my website is the natural outgrowth of that passion.
From time-to-time, I will add information or websites that I hope other writers might find useful, like this one from Purdue University:
https://owl.purdue.edu/owl/subject_specific_writing/creative_writing/index.html
The owl at the beginning of the URL mean Online Writing Lab and it is the creation of Purdue University. This particular part of their site is the introduction to Creative Writing resources. If you look to your left, you will see just a glimpse of all the great resources available to you here.
Keep watching because I will add more resources, mostly dependent on either what I need or what my students need.

Helps, this post is full of helps and inspirations!

I learned an important lesson checking one resource out. A loo, understood by some as the bathroom, didn't always mean that. An embarrassing mistake I almost made.
