Writing - sites I use a lot
- Ralan.com: Places that'll buy your work. Recommended.
- Duotrope: Even more places that'll buy your work. Even more recommended.
- WotF: Writers of the Future contest. Crack it and you're On Your Way.
- The Ultimate SF Workshop: For Boston-area SF/fantasy writers who can't afford Clarion, Odyssey, or Viable Paradise, but can afford Something. Keep an eye on the website and the Pandemonium newsletter to see when it's running next.
- SFWA: Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America. (I'm a member, I am I am.)
- ScienceDaily: Research press releases from all over Science. Good for keeping abreast of things.
- Onelook: The best free dictionary site.
- Worldcat: The ultimate library search site.
- PubMed: Life sciences abstracts galore.
- Wikipedia: The best place for an introduction. (Hilariously, through no intervention of my own, in one article something I wrote at another job appears to be cited as a "source". For the record, I had to steal info from a lot of other websites in order to write that original article, so I couldn't tell you how accurate it is.)
- Google: Lord of the search engines. Though I've also been playing with Cuil lately.
People - so that you may surreptitiously chart the social circles in which I move
- Monica Friedman: Editor, writer, teacher, reviewer. She'll probably review your book if you ask real nice and send a copy to her.
- Craig Shaw Gardener and Jeffery A. Carver: Writers and instructors in The Ultimate SF Workshop.
- Bruce Coville: Dragons! Aliens! Middle school angst!
- Julia Rios and Scott Davis: Some weirdos from my critique group.
