Writing Resources

Here are some of the resources I have shared with my writing group at the Claremont Forum.

50 Writing Tools: The Workbench of Roy Peter Clark - These are some powerful tips on how to actually do this thing of writing. He lays out what it takes to get some leverage and traction on your writing goals.

All at Once: A Guide to Practicaly Instant Creativity -Linda Armstrong has created a powerful set of steps to start your juices. Once again, she is a visual artist, but I find these useful for verbal artists.

Myth of Talent -This piece of writing is by a photographer, Craig M. Tanner. It is so inspiring and encouraging; give it a read.

San Jose State University Guilt List for English Majors - Take a look at these great books.My former proffessors got together to make this list of outstanding literature. As a writer, it's helpful to see how others made their stories happen.

The Ultimate Inspiration for a Writer -This is what Edward Toupin calls his essay, and I have to admit, it is pretty inspiring.
