Hello on Tuesday! What kind of a writing day has it been today -- or yesterday, if today hasn't gotten going yet?
- I thought about my fic once or twice
- I wrote
- I did some planning and/or research
- I edited
- I've sent my fic off to my beta
- I posted today!
- I'm taking a break
- I did something else that I'll talk about in a comment

Date: Tuesday, May 26th, 2015 13:23 (UTC)My go-to reference tools are an online thesaurus and the Online Etymology Dictionary (http://www.etymonline.com/), which I use to make sure the terms I use in my writing are not so modern that they take the reader out of the period I'm writing. I also use general google searches for subjects I don't know that much about, and my main writing fandom has some extensive wikis and encyclopedias online, as well as a number of published reference works in book form.

Date: Wednesday, May 27th, 2015 03:00 (UTC)For brushing up on canon I tend to use youtube and/or transcripts to focus on specific scenes. For more general research I tend to start with Wikipedia for links to more in-depth work, though if I have the time and energy I do like to visit the local library, especially if the subject is history or science. For spelling and grammar, I have a few reference books from high school and college that I still find useful. :)
