Writing

Excellent Websites for Writers

While learning the craft of writing, I read a lot of books and blogs on the subject. 

However, too many times I've stopped reading a book because the author chose to use a highly offensive example—just to illustrate a writing technique! I'll overlook mild offenses, but when it's something I know displeases God, I have to stop. 

It bewilders me why a writing "expert" isn’t talented enough to write an instructional book or blog post without taking the Lord's name in vain or using some lewd subject matter.

When I teach writing classes, I like sharing helpful resources with my students. Regardless of their age, I will not recommend a source that repeatedly uses cursing and offensive subject matter.

I am unable to monitor every single word, but I have found the following resources consistently present top-quality instruction in an excellent and praiseworthy manner.
