This week’s topic is:

What is your number one writing tool and number one writing resource you utilize as a writer/author (besides our writing accountability/goals group)?

My top 3 writing tools (and we can name up to three):

1. Write or Die – It helps with writing challenges and getting the words out without worrying about the internal editor.

2. My Beta Readers – They help me with giving me their views on the story, any thing they notice that is out of place, that draws them out of the story and even any grammar hiccup I may miss.

3. One Note – An invaluable tool for creating world bibles and keeping track of things, especially for series. And it’s great for logging research notes too. And especially in creating characters

My top 2 writing resources:

1. Romance Divas – I have talked about how great RD is before on the blog. It has been one of the most valuable resources in terms of support and information that I have found.

2. My thesaurus – Cause sometimes you can’t think of another word for scream (for whatever reason) and you just need an alternative cause you’ve already used the word (or a word) once (or twice) on the page.

If you want to check out how a few of my writing friends write:
