If you haven’t noticed all the tabs at the top of this website, today I would like to draw your attention to the one labeled “Great Resources for Writers and Authors”.

I am a firm believer in being a lifelong learner in the writing world. This helps you to always be on top of things in the publishing world. It also helps you continually improve your craft. Therefore, I include this page on my website and occasionally add to it to help all writers and authors who also want to continually improve their craft.

Today I have added a website that I couldn’t believe I didn’t already have on the list, “Writers Helping Writers”. It’s a great website with so many helpful tools, workshops, and software, as well as FREE worksheets and blog articles to help you improve your writing.

Today, I also added two books I recently purchased because they were recommended by a speaker at a writers’ conference I attended earlier this year. I recently purchased them and am excited to dive into them because I love character driven stories. Therefore, I am always looking for ways to improve on creating my characters and making them complex, realistic, and believable.

The two books I added are:

What Type Am I? by Renee Baron. This is a book based on the Classic Myers-Briggs Type Indicator. This book can help you create strengths and weaknesses for your characters as well as for their personal growth.

The Complete Writer’s Guide to Heroes & Heroines: Sixteen Master Archetypes by Tami D. Cowden, Caro LaFever, and Sue Viders. I am most excited about this one! This book promises to help the writer create extraordinarily memorable characters and elevate their writing to a higher level.

I encourage you to check out these resources as well as my “Great Resources for Writers and Authors” page for more helpful resources. You can begin with one or two, then come back to my “Great Resources for Writers and Authors” page to find more.

Let me know if you visit any of the websites I have listed or read any of the great books and what you think of them.
