The Quick and Dirty Link List

Postby Misplaced » Wed Feb 16, 2011 8:17 pm

In order to make sure that we don't lose these helpful resource links as our forum grows, we thought we'd throw together a consolidated link list here at the top of the forum.

This thread will remain locked, and this post will be edited to add links as they are shared with in the forum. Along with links to the resources, we will also post a companion link to the discussion thread about said resource. If you have questions or comments about a posted article or writing tool, the appropriate discussion thread is the place to go. :mrgreen:

On to the list:

TECHNICAL STUFF
(ie -- grammar, sentence struction, appropriate use of contractions, etc.)

The Apostrophe {discussion thread}
Comma Usage {discussion thread}
The Passive in English {discussion thread}
10 Common Errors Spellcheck Won't Catch {discussion thread}
Single Space After Periods {discussion thread}

ARTISTIC STUFF
(ie -- style, character and plot development, etc)
