Top Writing Links

Writer LinksAlthough there are hundreds (millions?) of  “writing” websites, I thought I’d share a few of my most often used bookmarks.

Under “WORDS”

The three top entries are:
Dictionary.com
Urban Dictionary NOTE: NSFW and rated R+ !
The Phrontisery For obscure words and vocabulary.

Under “RESEARCH”

Wikipedia  (duh)
…With several individual wiki entries marked to follow up on.
Atlas of the Universe Here, bookmarked specifically to the stars within 50 light years for HALO research, but the entire site is wickedly useful!

Under “PUBLISHING”

The Writer’s Almanac For daily inspiration.
Publisher’s Weekly Daily publishing news.
Publishing In the 21st Century Commentary on the state of the publishing industry by my very own uber agent, Richard Curtis.
and
The blog of Nathan Bransford, Literary agent, because like Richard Curtis he seems to have a finger on the pulse of the publishing industry.

So…what writing links do you use?
