A clutch of free resources for writers: techie widgets, helpful lists on ideas and writer's block, useful links, and my not-so-humble opinions about poetry. All these I've created for my own use and hope will be helpful for others. If you're looking for professional editing, feedback, or coaching, please visit my professional site.

A free database to do all your admin for you: the machine reminds you about competitions, tells you which publishers to send your writing to, writes your letters, keeps track of your progress, and calculates your tax.
