Alright, since I can't sleep and I've only gotten so far with this update for Paris in the Rain, I decided I would put together another resource blog because A.) I'm always in the mood for resources, and B.) I figured doing one resource blog a month would be decent from the standpoint of the writing challenge.
Speaking of the writing challenge, we're all still plugging along, and I just want to say I love each and every person involved. You are all so lovely and I admire the dedication and passion I've been observing in everyone; it's been an honor to take part in.
Anyway, let's get this steam train a rollin'.
Resources for description, variety in word use, diversity in character ethnicities, and developing relationships:

Contains some great ambient/instrumental listening as well.

(I apologize in advance that most of the Tumblr links link back to my own personal Tumblr, which is a complete disaster, but my laptop is lagging something ultra fierce and it would have taken me 10 years to follow the links back to OPs, considering it took 2 years just to get them off mine.)
Go forth and write, I believe in all of us!
Oh my god this tab crashed while I was in the bathroom and I cried a lot because that may not seem like a lot of words but the thought of rewriting it crushed my soul.

I'm off to... stare at these chapters that I'm going back and forth between and probably get no sleep because that's just my life, right at this very moment.
