Epic Pin of the Week!

Welcome to my regular Wednesday morning post of the week’s awesome writer resources!

We’re hitting the last few days on #NaNoWriMo…here’s hoping these links help you power through to the end!

Classic Fantasy Quote of the Week:

“Either I shall gain gold by my courage or else battle, savage and mortal injury, shall carry off your lord.”

~ Beowulf (the man fights sea monsters and dragons…if that’s not classic fantasy, I don’t know what is!)

Writerly Wisdom of the Week:

“…culture and race and sexuality and even language are all lenses that shape our experiences of the world and who we are in it. The only way to climb into that experience is to research it, through books or blogs or documentaries or journalism or, most important and obvious, through talking to people.”       ~ Lauren Beukes
