This week I’ll share with you my list of go to websites when I need extra help in my writing. There are plenty of websites out there and I’m not saying some are better than others. I will say, however, that I have mostly stuck with the following websites because they have worked out for me so far. For the most part, this list is biased toward fantasy tools but there are other websites too.
1.Evernote
I use Evernote to jot down notes, story ideas that pop into my head, and copy down urls. Since I have the app, I can access all my notes on my phone so I don’t always have to be in front of a computer. There’s a free basic version that I think works well and the websites has other features you can pay for.
2. Donjon
This is a website for fantasy generators and it also has information/generators for D&D and science fiction as well. It has a world generator that you can customize and the websites shows an image of your map which is really cool.
This is another website with generators. This is more diverse than Donjon because you can generate armor, weapons, magic, technology, superheroes, and anime and manga.
This website does focus on fantasy (I’m finding a theme here). There’s generators for culture, people, places, accessories with a wide variety.
Although it says fantasy, this is primarily a name generator for many things; places, real names, descriptions, and pop culture. For those of you who play WoW, Guild Wars, Diablo, this website is for you. There are generators for every race in the games; Warhammer 40k, LOTR, and so much more.
I don’t use this one often but you can pick the genre you’re thinking about writing and fill in some blanks. With a click of a button, you get your plot. It might not be what you want to write about but I think it’s a good way to start.
7. Writers Plot Idea Generator
This is another plot generator but the website includes plot twists, character name, character profile, and location generators.
This websites has articles on writing and tips. There are also other genres they talk about with their own website like fantasy or horror.
I use this website when I have no idea how to even pronounce a character name. This situation falls under all the names I make up in my head (or on a generator).
10. Celtx
Primarily I use this website for my scripts but they all have a novel function that you can use. They also have app that can be downloaded.
The list isn’t perfect and it all tailored to what I need. If there are other websites out there that are really great, please tell me. I’m open to any suggestions on other websites that I can use. Like I mentioned, I don’t have all the list of resources but I found these very helpful.
Its such as you learn my thoughts! You seem to grasp a lot
about this, like you wrote the ebook in it or something.
I believe that you simply can do with some % to force the message
house a bit, but instead of that, this is great blog.
A great read. I’ll definitely be back. https://florthynne38.wordpress.com/2016/12/29/fraud-deceptions-and-downright-lies-about-monster-truck-games-exposed/
