This page has links to a few sites I think are wonderful. They've been split into four
blocks. The first is a list of sites I'm involved with; the second a list of
writing 'aids' including articles and software - yWriter is just peachy, as is Freemind. The third is sites I visit a lot, and last, but definitely not least, are direct links to the pages of some of my favourite authors. I'm adding to this one a lot!
Please be aware that these links should be seen as an official endorsement by Camy's Gaff. These products, authors and websites ROCK!

Codey's World is wonderful. I could wax lyrical, but best if you find out for yourself. |
Writing aids
Q10. |
Q10 is a basic full screen text editor. If you liked, (and can remember) writing on a typewriter or an early word processor, then this is the software for you. White on green, white on black, black on white. It's all there. And, just like a typewriter, you can keep the cursor on a single line in the middle of the screeen. |
YWriter Software |
yWriter is a brilliant piece of FREE software. Written by an author who created it to help him to write his novels. Not only is yWriter a word processor that allows you to write in scenes, but it enables you to keep a story bible; see your scenes laid out in storyboard form, and so much more. Many thumbs up! Now on version 5. |
Freemind |
FreeMind is FREE mind-mapping software written in Java. A great tool for outlining your novel. |
The Turkey City Lexicon |
I've come across this lexicon several times in my travels. As it's very useful, and not copyrighted, I've grabbed it. |
Slang and Colloquialisms |
A monster online dictionary of the rich colourful language we call slang... all from a British perspective. Complete with a search faciliy. Even if you don't need it, it's fun to browse on a rainy day! |
The Mannerly Art Of Critique |
It says: The more folks who know how to give and take crit ethically, humanely, and usefully, the better. Being hopeless as a critic myself, I agree. |
