A good site for writers

I've just found out about Creative Writing Now, which looks like a good resource. An excerpt from the home page:

Creative Writing Now was created as a free service by writing teachers to provide a supportive and friendly place for authors and poets at all stages in their writing lives. 

If you're just starting out, you can reach the next level in your writing with our free online writing courses and easy step-by-step guides to writing short stories, novels, poetry, and drama. 

No matter what your level of experience, you're invited to participate in our free creative writing contests for the chance to get published and win prizes.

I've added a link to it in the Writers' Resources list.

I thought I'd take the opportunity of this new post to comment on the fact that, unlike a good number of fiction websites, yours does not try to impress aspiring novelists with ideas and materials they absolutely need to realize their publishing "dream".

At first, those "dream made true" models look enticing and quite new indeed until you realize most of them are directly lifted from the abundant literature on screenplay writing, which most aspiring fiction writers have not heard about. Not only is the source not acknowledged, it's (literally) sold as new.

In that market where self-proclaimed experts do not hesitate to borrow other people's ideas (*) and aggressively promote their ebooks, your writing blog offer a refreshing contrast.
I personally have been following it for years (sometime hoping , in fact, that you would more often write about your own work).

(*) Recently, on one of those guru blogs, I candidly gave the pointer to a small visual tool I was developing (to outline a story using editable e-notes floating over a story skyline) and mentioned the opportunity for software development based on that prototype. Two days later, part of the idea had been lifted and promoted as a new great visual tool (and my ensuing comment was blocked).
