A humble brag and a useful resource

Add yours in the comments! SHOW off something awesome of yours (a blog post, a published article, a newly-released book, a course, etc.), and TELL me about something cool from someone else.

Show

I added a new Resources for Writers page to DIY Writing to share some blogs, newsletters, e-courses, books, and other tools to help you all on your journey. At that page, you can also download my free e-book, Brainstorming Workbook, to get 12 weeks of writing prompts and worksheets.

All of the resources are ones that I use or have used myself and highly recommend — plus, most of them are free! The list is brief for now, but I’ll be adding new stuff regularly. If you know of (or have created) any must-have resources for writers, let me know; I’d love to add them.

Here’s an excerpt:

Stop complaining about the job market.

Stop spending all your time browsing job boards.

Stop acting like you’re entitled to a job.

Stop waiting for someone else to hire you.

Be innovative.

Get to work creating your own job. [Read more]

Your turn!
