Useful Novel-Writing Links

With NaNo just around the corner, we’ll be focusing on novel writing for the next month and a half. Today, I thought a few links to others’ tips might be useful.

If you’re looking for a little help writing your novel, or you feel that you need a little more structure, Susan Hill is running a creative writing course for free on her blog.

Marie Phillips gives some great all-purpose tips on writing. Tip #6, “Be wary of telling people too much about what you are doing” really strikes a chord with me. I never talk much about a work in progress. The more I talk about it, the less I’m inclined to write it!

If you’re looking for NaNo-specific tips, then Angela Booth has some links that cover getting your novel underway.

Mark Terry talks about the struggle between writing for money and writing for art, and why we choose to write in the first place.

Kate Elliott has some advice for first time science fiction and fantasy writers.
