As I build my own collection of resources, I am going to upload and share with you everything I can. It’s a small list for now, but I am busy in the background creating a massive list I want to share, so bear with me.

Twitter Hashtags to Help Generate Traffic
First up, my all inclusive writing tips post on social media
I saw a 350% increase in twitter followers in 9 days using these hashtags so if you want traffic use them!
#MondayBlogs Links to the twitter account. But if you post on Mondays tweet your post with the hashtag #MondayBlogs. If you tweet and retweet others, trust me when I tell you you will get a ton of followers – take a phone charger to work your phone battery will die! Posts must have been posted on a Sunday.
#SundayBlogShare Same thing – Links to the account but use the hashtag on a Sunday and tweet and RT others
#ArchiveDay not quite sure who created this one, but same thing – tweet any post from your archives on a Saturday, tweet and RT others.
#wwwblogs This ones for ladies (sorry guys) same principles – but on a Wednesday
Headline Help – to write attention grabbing headlines

Books to Read If You are Serious About Writing
I got scared when I saw the character interview; then thought maybe that’s why I have yet to complete any novel I’ve started and go back to flash fiction.
Food for thought, Sacha. Thank you.

Ha! I would give too much precedence to character templates they are great to help hold information about characters but actually the best method for me is to let the characters develop on the page and refine them through edits. If you like flash fiction I do a weekly flash challenge which… Happens to be on weds…. Would be great if you joined in 🙂
