[Linkage] W is for Writing Craft
Note: My A-Z theme is linkage. Every day (at 7:00 a.m. EST), I'm going to list three helpful industry links per letter, and then I'll ask for suggestions in the comments—that way, we can pool our resources! :)

I'll have to check out the verb list.
I'll have to check out the verb list book, too. LOVE the Emotion Thesaurus and love their blog. Such an awesome resource.
I don't know how you managed to narrow it down to only three. There are some great resources out there. ;)
Here's one on weasel words:

I couldn't live without Thesaurus.com and Grammarbook.com.
And this writing glossary is helpful: http://www.fromthewriteangle.com/p/writing-glossary.html
I'm all about the Cambridge Online dictionary.
I use the Bookshelf Muse all the time.
those are so helpful!
Never can learn too much.
I like Chicago, too. It seem to make the most sense in both fiction and non-fiction.
I sure would love my own copy of the CMoS since I have to rely on it as an editor, but $65! Whoa! I'm too broke for that. I did download the verb sheet. THANKS!! It'll come in handy. And I refer to the Bookshelf Muse all the time. Great list of links, Carrie!!
I've been using the Chicago website often this semester, since my professor for two of my Information Science classes prefers their citation style. http://phrontistery.info/ also has a lot of interesting words for a language/linguistics nerd. My X post for tomorrow actually uses a word I found there.
It's good stuff! :)
Aren't they fantastic? :D
Wow, that verb list is awesome! Thanks so much for including The Bookshelf Muse on your list, Carrie. I needed that pick-me-up at the end of this very long day ;).
The Bookshelf Muse is a great one!
It was pretty difficult... :) Thank you for sharing, Melissa!
Oo, that's a good one, Talli! :)
Gotta love that site! :)
Thanks for stopping by, Prerna! :)
I usually consult the Chicago Manual or Grammar Girl for my grammar type issues. I had not heard of the other two links, but I'll definitely be bookmarking them. Thanks!!
Too true! :)
It's my favorite. I wish we could've used it in school. <3
Wouldn't that be nice? If I had a copy of CMoS, I'd put it on a pedestal with some kind of dramatic lighting. ;)
Thanks, Nancy!
That must be so nice! I always had to use APA and MLA in college, and I hated it. LOL
Thank you for the link! :)
You're very welcome, Becca! You know I love me some Bookshelf Muse. :D
Isn't it? :D
You're going to love them, Jocelyn! :) And no problem!
Great links...especially the style guide. I can see me visiting there quite often.
Thanks Carrie! :)
