Week 2: A (tentative) Posting Schedule, Writer's Resources, and MtG Combo

I think I'm going to post once a week. Gonna go for Thursday, though I didn't make it this week.

This time, I think I'll just make a list of resources I've found most useful as a writer.

1: writingexcuses.com
It's a weekly podcast by Brandon Sanderson, Howard Taylor, Dan Wells, and Mary Robinette Kowal. "15 Minutes long, because you're in a hurry, and..."  ...they've got a STOCKPILE of writerly advice.

Seriously. They let you listen for free, they have full archives from podcast one, and they've proved invaluable to me. (I don't really do the prompts, and that's still true, so imagine if you were to keep with the program)

2: writeaboutdragons.com
A site started by a college student (I think), focused on writing. More importantly, it features ACTUAL Masters-level Creative Writing classes taught by Brandon Sanderson. (I think I'm beginning to sense a pattern here...)

Free youtube postings, unbelievable amounts of good advice here.

Well, that's mostly it. I know, it doesn't seem like a lot, but listen through all the seasons of Writing Excuses and try to tell me I haven't pointed you in the right direction.

Next, ANOTHER CRAZY MAGIC COMBO! YAY!!!

Okay, maybe I was a little over the top. but lookey here:

Gravecrawler
Heartless summoning
Skinrender (Or Butcher Ghoul)
Skirsdag High Priest

Gives a 5/5 flyer EVERY TURN. You're welcome.
