Hi! I know there’s already a topic for Writing Resources but it was more for software than ways to train as a writer.
What are some websites, courses, books, YouTube channels, etc that have helped you grow as a writer?
Christian Writing Websites:
-Story Embers
-Rabbit Room
-Hope*WritersAnd a more general, mostly freelance website I found was
-The Write LifeBooks:
-Adorning the Dark by Andrew Peterson. Its more about creativity in general but I absolutely LOVE IT! Sometimes hearing about the technical side and how-to-write books can all start sounding the same BUT THIS really got to the heart of a Christian creator. Totally recommend.I have a page with a bunch of resources on my second blog here. 🙂
I'm a Kapeefer 'TIL WE'RE OLD AND GREY!
www.jennaterese.comThe Young Writers Workshop has helped me A TON in my writing. It’s kind of expensive (same price as hope*writers, I believe) but it was totally worth it in my opinion. K. M. Weiland’s blog is also really helpful. 🙂

aldarley.wordpress.comGo Teen Writers is a really great blog with a lot of helpful writing advice! And for YouTube channels iWriterly and Reedsy are some videos I’ll sometimes watch. And for books I’ve started reading Teen Writers’ Guide: Your Road Map for Writing by Jennifer Jenkins. I haven’t gotten very far in it but so far it’s been very awesome!!!! (Also, since we’re talking about writing websites I’m gonna add in a friend of mine’s blog wildwritingdreams.wordpress.com which has sUPER GREAT writing tips and my own blog Teen Writers’ Nook!)

@epicaddie2, are you currently on Ydubs?
The pen is mightier than the sword, but in a duel, I'm taking the sword.
ekseaver.wordpress.com@e-k-seaver Unfortunately not, but I do intend on rejoining! I was on it for about two years until around April of last year when I decided to take a break because it was becoming a bit distracting. I still talk to lots of Ydubbers though because they’re all like my best friends XD Are you on Ydubs?

aldarley.wordpress.comAlso, I second @abigail-m and her suggestion of Hillsdale’s online courses. THEY ARE AMAZING. I’ve already gone through a few (the Genesis one is incredible!!) and I’ve even been able to get some high school credit for it.

aldarley.wordpress.com@epicaddie2, nope, I was on there between Feb-April 2019. But yes, I keep in contact with a lot of people back on there too who I consider my closest friends.
