If you're a writer and you don't use these resources...you're nuts!



Yes nuts! Insane, crazy, totally missing out.


So, here are my two FREE online resources that can change the way you play the game.


1.  Grammar Girl -quick and dirty tips for better writing.


Go ahead, bookmark it, pin it, tweet it.  I'll wait...



Onward,


Grammar Girl is an excellent resource for anyone putting sentences together.  Lie versus lay.   Affect versus effect.  Further versus farther.  These are just the tip of the iceberg. 


They also have a podcast and video blog if you need a break from reading computer based articles.


Whether you're Stephen King or my thirteen-year-old daughter (Hello, Iris), this website can be an invaluable tool. 


2. Goodreads


Think Facebook for readers.
