I’ve compiled a list of awesome sites that should get you through most writer’s blocks. I can’t take credit for finding all of them. They come courtesy of some savvy tweeps on Twitter but especially Angela Ackerman. You can follow her on Twitter @WriterThesaurus or @AngelaAckerman. She blogs at http://thebookshelfmuse.blogspot.com/.
I hope these links are as useful to you as they are for me.
