25. SOME WRITERS RESOURCES THAT MIGHT BE OF INTEREST
This came over via email. Very good links, so I am passing it on.


Reference Library: Bartleby.com (www.bartleby.com) - one of the most
complete reference sources on the Internet

Words That Are Often Confused (lbarker.orcon.net.nz/words.html) – Nice
directory, alphabetically organized, of pairs of words that are often
confused (e.g., accept/except) and that writers sometimes substitute for
one another. Also provides examples of usage.

In Quest of An Elegant Writing Style
(lbarker.orcon.net.nz/elegant.html) – Lots of common sense tips here, such as, "Avoid too many
consecutive paragraphs starting with the same word." Includes explanations and
examples.

(Note: the writer of the two pieces above is from New Zealand, but I
didn't find any examples of entries that would be different in American
English)

Critiques: Ethics
(www.paintedrock.com/library/hinze/hinze/critique.txt) - This is a great piece by Victoria Hinze Barrett, copyright 1995,
about the ethics associated with critiquing. It covers the issues of
trust, confidentiality, and sensitivity, among others.

Critique Guidelines
(www.paintedrock.com/library/hinze/hinz/critiqu2.txt) - This is another piece by Victoria Hinze Barrett, copyright 1995,
discussing some basic techniques for analyzing another writer's work.
