How to Use the Internet to Help Write Your Story
No… I’m not talking about plagerism. I’m talking about research. I’m talking about networking. I’m talking about finding the resources that you need to write the best novel that you can.
There are so many resources out there. Usually my first line of defence is Google.com or Wikipedia.com. Just about anything that you want to learn about from military subs to the speghetti monster you can find information on it all.
Names are a very important part of your story or novel. There are many resources about names. Infact, I have already written a post about Names. Read it here. There are many places that you can go to find support from other fellow writers. a couple of my favorites are National Novel Writing Month and Writing.com. Both of these website have great forums. Search them, you are sure to find the information you are looking for.
My family no longer owns a Dictionary or a thesaurus. There is no reason to have those large heavy (not to mention difficult to use) books in the house when I can use Websters online.
It is so crazy how much information is actually out there about writing. Just type in How to Write on google. I got over eight and a half million pages about how to write. You will never run out of information to read about writing. The only problem will be putting aside the internet and opening your word processor to actually write.
