For Writers
If you want to be a writer, do three things. Write, read, and learn about writing. I have a website dedicated to helping teenage authors learn to write. Here is the link: www.teenageauthor.com.
If you are an adult learning to write, I highly recommend the links on the right to help you learn. My all time favorite is Randy Ingermanson. The man is a genius at teaching others what he knows. I’ve taken both his Fiction 101 and Fiction 201 courses and I highly recommend them. Other ways to learn are by going to writers conferences and reading writing related books. I have included some links below.
