Because there's no other way out
But having some tools, some platforms help. And this is what I am going to share with you here.
Please note that some of the resources that I have enlisted here are free while some are not. And the paid resources are affiliate products or services. Which means I get a commission at no extra cost to you. And please remember that I have either used the resources mentioned here or have read and heard a lot about them and thus believe them to be very much worth of your time and money, which is why I recommend them.
Books on writing
- On Writing
: I haven't read this book. But I am going to read this one very soon - as of now, I am taken by Bird by Bird by Anne Lamott. On Writing is a memoir in which Stephen King tells you about his childhood - in the second half of this book, he takes you deep inside the craft that is writing. A must read for you if you're a budding writer.
- Bird by Bird
by Anne Lamott: I am reading this book. To me, the books makes me feel as if I am in one of Anne's creative writing workshop.
