Inspirational web sites

Yesterday I spoke about rejections. When I opened my e-mails today, I found one that recommended a website for authors - one where you can feel inspired. I took a look - and I highly recommend this site to any writer, but especially if you're feeling down about your writing. It's called "Write Attitude":

Another place you can go is "The Motivated Writer". To really benefit from their help, you need to join their lists, but so far, I'm happy with what I get.

And finally, Stepping Stones. Though this is a personal website from a writer, she has some good information here. Take a look at the issues. There are good articles on the craft of writing.

You'll note that these are not highly advertised sites. In fact, they're rather obscure. But that is the beauty of them. They offer inspiration and tips and help for writers because they want to, not because it's their business. Well, Motivated Writer is close, but still, it's free. :) I know there are others out there. If you know of one, let me know and I'll post it here. We all need a little help now and then and what better place to find it than from another writer?
