Some tips for[| Beating Writer's Block].

[|Grammar Girl]: This site has some useful tips and quick lessons for all the grammar content you can imagine.

[|ESPN:] Yes, this SPORTS link is here on purpose. Take some time to read through the articles by the columnists on this site. All of these writers demonstrate excellent skill and control of their writing and conventions, and most importantly, they each have a distinct style and voice. I want you to learn from other writers and to model their successful techniques, but first you need to find an author whose work you enjoy reading. I highly suggest Rick Reilly.

DID YOU KNOW...... That a lot (and I'm talking thousands) of books are available for FREE online? Writings that are out of copyright are available for free, to the general public on many different websites like the ones listed below. You may want to bookmark some of these for easy access when you want to catch up on your classics. Think of this as a free E-reader.

==** [|Feedbooks] I like this site because the home page shows the new releases, and the most popular books of the week. As of June, some popular books include //The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, The Counte of Monte Cristo// and //Pride and Prejudice.// **==

== [|Smashwords] This site may be a little more difficult to navigate, but it provides a lot of options for those of you who wish to purchase books not found on the free sites. ==
