Writing Resources - Z - Zenpen

Welcome to the Insecure Writer’s Support Group Website! Our A to Z Challenge theme – Writing Resources!

There are a lot of great distraction-free writing tools out there. If you'd rather not download an app, though, ZenPen is a wonderful web-based alternative with a simple design and minimal clutter.

To use the editor, simply go directly to the ZenPen site. Erase the starter text and start writing your own. It supports basic formatting like bold, italics, quotes, and links. You can set a word count target and save the whole thing in HTML or plain text when you're done. That's it. If you really want to minimize distractions while you're writing, head to ZenPen and press F11 to full screen your browser.

One Stop For Writers – A Powerhouse Online Library!

Angela Ackerman shares a little about how this site got started and what it has to offer:

One Stop For Writers is a collaboration between the authors of The Emotion Thesaurus, Angela Ackerman & Becca Puglisi, and Lee Powell, the creator of Scrivener for Windows. This unique site is a powerhouse online library filled with tools to supply writers with inspiration, education, and powerful description resources which will elevate their writing and save them time.

If you’re familiar with the Descriptive Thesaurus Collections at Writers Helping Writers as well as the Emotion, Positive Trait, and Negative Trait books you will have a good idea of the type of description help you’ll find at One Stop. Along with these expanded and enhanced collections the site has many worksheets, research templates and even an idea generator unlike anything else you’ve seen.

Angela, Becca and Lee built this site because they know crafting a strong story is hard work, and it requires a lot of juggling to research descriptive detail and characterization and then find time to get those words down on the page. It’s their hope that the One Stop library will help writers find what they need faster so more of their time is spent actually writing.

From the creators of The Emotion Thesaurus comes a brand new writing tool - One Stop For Writers

If there's one thing all writers agree on, it's that writing is TOUGH. The road to publication twists and dips as we learn the craft, hone our abilities, create stories we're passionate about, fight discouragement, educate ourselves about the industry...and then start the process all over again as we realize there's room to improve. But you know what? If you are like me, you wouldn't have it any other way.

Finding a good writing book, a helpful blog, a mentor or critique partner to share the journey with...these things are gems along the writing path.

And guess what? Maybe there's another resource waiting just up the road called One Stop For Writers.

One Stop For Writers is not writing software, but rather a powerful online library that contains tools, unique description collections, helpful tutorials and much more, brought to you by Angela Ackerman & Becca Puglisi, the authors of The Emotion Thesaurus, and Lee Powell, the creator of Scrivener for Windows.

They have a lot of promotional stuff going on for the launch and you can view some of the discounts and giveaways HERE.

There’s also a video that explains how it all works HERE.

This is an awesome new site – think it will help you on your writing journey?
