I’ve been culling my frequently visited sites, favorite YouTube channels and podcasts, and browsing my Twitter feed…all in the name of research, of course (not at all because I’ve been slacking off or procrastinating getting back to my writing, not at all…).
I’m really excited to share with you just the beginning of a long list of resources that I’ve found over the years. And I’m not just talking books, I’m talking everything from Twitter #s to Authortube to Websites and more.
I will say that this is not a complete list, I’m still going through all of my digital “stuff” and finding more all the time, I’ll probably update this once a month here on out to keep staying relevant as well as continuing to post what I’ve found to help my own writing.
If you have any you love, I’d love to hear about them in the comments so I can check them out and add them to the lists!
