Writer resource & ideas

Here I list lots of resources, ideas, and options for writers or would-be writers. Whether you write books, children's books, novels, or you just write for the web...

This is the writer resources section. Consider these empowering resources whether you're a mystery writer, a textbook writer, columnist, or you just write for the web.

Writer resource No. 1 - dictionary software

I use www.dictionary.com to make quick checks on word meanings. It's free, and useful for quick checks if you are connected to the web. Improper word usage is a turn off on the web, but definitely a no-no for a book.

If you need more sophisticated or professional services, try Babylon. This single click translator dictionary, converter, and information tool can extend your reach beyond language barriers. Some 17 million users use Babylon to get instant translations. Click here to download Babylon for free!

Writer resource No. 2 - Training

It's always best to have a coach who not only knows the game but also how to impart the skills. I value Steve Manning's instruction on how to write a book in 2 weeks.

Also, there are training resources for writing children's books. This is so important. Writing books for kids is bigger "nation-building" than any political program can carry out.

And again, if want to cut out the painful trial and error in learning to write for the web, here are my two recommended resources - in order of personal preference:

• Free course - If you know your subject matter, and if you're motivated to build a REAL business with growing, diversified revenues... this is where it really begins:

  and to write your info effectively, take this free net writing course available at

• Free e-book - Download "Copywriting & eBooks" by Jim Edwards, available on this site. Click here.

Writer resource No. 3 - Software

Word-processing software such as Dragon Naturally Speaking help put a lot of fun into the work of putting your thoughts on paper (or on disk).

Imagine how far we've come! You don't have to use your fingers to type. Talk about a semantic shift on the meaning of the word typing.

You'll also need graphics software if you do your own graphic illustrations.

Writer resource No. 4 - Computer and Printer

Items and furniture for home office

• Inkjet Cartridges starting at $3.99!!! All-Ink.com
• glass computer desks
• bush computer desks
• corner computer desks

These hardware items are easily available at popular office furniture stores such as OfficeFurniture.com.
