Five Unique and Helpful Sources for Writers
I know, I know, I haven’t been posting regularly.
That’s because I’m writing a novel in 100 days, and I’ve been focusing on my writing recently. (oh, you expected some standard excuse that all bloggers give? Psh, I think you forget whose blog you’re reading.)
But today I’m going to list the TOP FIVE websites that are a must for all screenwriters:
- StumbleUpon. Seriously, this thing is a major inspiration generator. It’s a browser add on that gives you a button that you press and it magically teleports you to awesome websites- a perfect way to get inpiration. I’ve learned how to build invisible shelving and found a lot of inspiring pictures.
- Character chart. My characters sometimes can be bland; so this character chart is perfect. Eleven printable pages of questions that are guaranteed to get you characters that feel real.
- Royalty Free Music. You don’t think it’s a necessity for screenwriters? It is! It’s amazing how some simple trailer-style music can get you in the mood to write an action sequence or a car chase.
- Yahoo! Answers. Where else can you hear about people’s problems and then use them in a story without them knowing? This is a story database in itself, and just flipping through random topics like ‘What’s your prized possession?’ you can really get some great stories to incorporate into your own writing.
- The best search engine out there. Really, this search engine beats google- you just have to visit it yourself to see what I mean.
