Here I have compiled a list of rather useful writing resources. These are equally useful for those who are writers by day, as well as for those who are something else by day and writers by night, early mornings, some weekends, or perhaps the occasional holiday. I have made use of these websites myself, and I am amazed by the creativity of your world! Imagine the stories that are yet to be written, just waiting in someone’s mind, and these websites can help you place that story onto paper.
- The Write Life. This website is for anyone who wants to hone their craft or make a living as a writer. Yes, it’s possible. Stop laughing. Anyway, the Write Life has just about every sort of writing tip, trick, and resource you could possibly imagine to help you live the right life (pun intended). Do you want to learn how to blog? Click on the link. Do you want to learn how to be a freelancer? Click on the link. Do you want to figure out how to publish a book? You get the idea. In fact, this website seems so thorough that I could have just stopped the list here. But it wouldn’t be much of a list, now would it? And I did promise five.
- YeahWrite. This website has a gold mine of writing prompts, writing tips, writing challenges, writing classes, and writing super challenges. Those super challenges sound interesting, don’t you think? Anything called a super challenge is worth a look. Plus, this website name is also a pun! How could you not check this one out?
- The Write Practice. This website has tools for helping you improve your writing. It especially helps you focus on…the right practice! Stop rolling your eyes. More specifically, it gives you many different ways to practice your writing, tips on how to improve, and there’s even an assessment you can take that will provide you with feedback on the “write” way to begin your practice. I’m not sorry for the puns. It’s also a great resource for those who want to write a book and those who are trying to figure out how to get published.
- The Writer’s Digest. Okay, so there’s no pun here, but don’t let that scare you away. This is a good basic website for all things writing. It provides all-around help for fiction, nonfiction, and poetry, and it hosts conferences and challenges. It gives you a lot of food for thought to digest. Ha! I got a pun in after all.
- The Creative Penn. I had to end this list with a pun! This website is run by best-selling author Joanna Penn, and I must applaud the creative website name. She wants to help other people make their way down their own writing path. You can read her blog, listen to her podcast, or read one of her many books to get started.

What do you mean “too many puns”?
