Writing Links

Writing Excuses, an excellent podcast for aspiring writers, especially those interested in Genre Fiction.
Writer's Digest community, a social networking site/forum for writers.
David Farland's "Daily Kick", a daily newsletter about writing.
WikiName, a great starting place for researching various names from around the world.
Wikipedia, which should not need explaining, is an excellent springboard for further research. This should be on everyone's search bar.
Dictionary.com, which should not need explaining. This should also be on every writer's search bar.

Firefox browser, simply because it's a personal preference.
Wordpress.com, a free web blog hosting site, where I host my own anonymous blog.

Schlock Mercenary, the webcomic I keep on my address bar, not my bookmarks.
Brandon Sanderson, a bestselling fantasy author. You can read his book "Warbreaker" for free at his site, and he posts extra annotations for his books online for fans.
Jim Butcher, another fantasy author. I'm up-to-date on both his fantasy series, and I'd recommend either of them to anyone who likes fantasy.
Dan Wells, an author of fine horror stories. Or psychological thrillers. I'll get back to you when I've figured out the difference.
Tamora Pierce, who deserves part of the credit that I kept reading as a teenager. Definitely the best author whose name is a typo. ;)
Joe Mallozzi, an executive producer of Stargate Universe, and writer of both previous Stargate shows.
