The 10K run and 10 links for it

Wouldn't you know it? I save my 10K-a-week challenge for the weekend, and we get our first bright sunny day in weeks. Somebody pass me a very very very very long extension cord?

Meanwhile, there's no time to waste, so I'll pass you the following links I discovered this week while simply minding my own business on the web:

One Word
I loved this one: hit the 'go' button, see a word, write like mad for 60 seconds and see what happens. It's a fun writing game and good practice for letting go of the Inner Editor

Title Generator from Wordsmiths.net
Here's a random title generator -- no choices or input, just click. Makes a great prompt or game for your writer's circle

Westegg.com's Cliche Generator
A handy tool for ridding these from your own prose.

Word Perhect
I'm not really sure just what the hey this is, but it's fun. Certainly different.

Writer's Digest 101 best sites for writers
Enough said, a great bookmark

Rhymer.com
Free online rhyming dictionary

Professor Jay's Writing Rules
Simple but very funny: one to print and hang on the wall

Kurt Vonnegut's 8 basics
Another one to print and post.

Archetypewriting.com
I've seen title generators and character generators, but here's their plot generator: another great writing prompt or group game

AlphaDictionary.com
Sign up for Dr. Goodword's word-of-the-day e-mail: interesting word facts delivered with a bit of humour.


Happy surfing!

I'm off to happy writing....
