This week I'd like to share some writing websites and blog posts you might find useful.
The #AugWriting Challenge
It’s not too late to commit to writing 500 words a day for the month of August!

I’m finding that making a public commitment and tweeting about my progress is helping to keep me on track. There's still half a month left if you'd like to join.
