Other writing sources

[JamesW he/him]

A lot of us enjoy writing excuses, and have learned a lot from it about writing. Some just enjoying reading things about the techniques that writers use.

This will hopefully end up as a collection of other sources for people to access if they want other advice on their writing.

Some topics addressed by Brent Weeks (Night Angel Trilogy) about all sorts of writing things.

The ever-charming Orson Scott Card has several Writing Class articles on his website. They're a bit old, but useful, particularly for those who would rather read articles than listen to podcasts. The link is: http://www.hatrack.com/writingclass/index.shtml

Pat Rothfuss's new web thingy looks promising.

I get a lot of my advice from podcasts, as it lets me work on my writing while doing housework. My favourites include:

• Adventures in SciFi Publishing - lots of author interviews, so a variety of comments on technique
• I Should Be Writing - as much for motivation as for technique, I like listening to Mur but she rambles a bit
• The Roundtable Podcast - alternates between interviews with authors and shows where they demonstrate their skills by workshoping a story - has unfortunately just gone on hiatus, but there's a whole load of old shows to listen to

Writeaboutdragons.com will be posting new lectures from Brandon's class next month. It looks like they are also expanding it to include a forum to use as a writers group.
