Identify Useful Resources
Let's collaboratively build a library of resources for this group. I know that I spend a lot of time procrastinating by looking at productivity blogs and writing sites, when it would be easier to just sit and write!
Let's share those links and use them to identify tasks that we can work on.
There are some links added already to the External Links section, but it may be more productive to we use this task area to organise links by category. My category ideas are:
Blogging Practice
- http://www.nablopomo.com
- http://learn.wordpress.com/
- http://dailypost.wordpress.com/ "an experiment in blogging motivation"
Writing for the Web (general)
- http://www.copyblogger.com/
- 10 Tips on Writing the Living Web by the excellent Mark Bernstein
Writing (general)
- The Simple Software That Could - a homage to EtherPad, and how new technology changes the writing process
- How a maverick film-maker with attention deficit disorder invented the future of writing
Suggested Tools
- EtherPad [free]
- Ulysses: a "no nonsense" text editor for word-warriors [paid]
- Tinderbox: a peerless, powerful writing tool. Somebody once described this as the equivalent for writers to Photoshop for photographers. High praise, even as the learning curve has you doing mental push-ups [paid]
Non Web Resources
