useful writing resources?

Back to General Discussion

i wasn't really sure where to put this... but i want to know what kind of resources you guys use as writers for both stories and creating characters! such as for realism of maybe certain affects (ex: side effects to a medication, common methods of criminal behavior, the healing stage or feelings during or after an injury), or a better way to visualize them! i get i could search them up when the time comes, but itd be better if i could come across ideas i havent heard of before.

a few ill use is a height & weight chart, omg i loved coming across this when trying to design an oc! i want to be realistic when referencing them in writing or designing an outfit. also ellipsus, it has some template that'll cover some questions i haven't thought of yet. (sometimes ill use notion too!)

ill also create spotify playlists and pinterest boards for them, a lot of the time when i'm first creating them as it helps me put the idea i have into a general feel and get inspired for a new idea through recommended pins/songs.

a resource that's been honestly quite revolutionary for me as a writer is the onelook's reverse dictionary, where you search up a concept or description to find any words that fits!

Unconventional but Reddit, usually there’s someone who posted a story about something im researching and gives me a perspective about how someone could act or feel during this event

i havent thought to use reddit this way before... but it does make sense! with how many stories people put on there. good idea!
