I use Dropbox for pictures and Google Drive for text, in essence. The benefit of Google Drivein my opinion is that it ties in (almost) seamlessly with Google's online word processing tools. -
Agreed. Simple to use and really terrific for online collaboration. Slightly different concept as the files aren't natively in Word or Excel or whatever, but still very handy.

I loved this TED Radio Hour special on storytelling. It includes interviews and TED talks from a Pixar scriptwriter, the author of the historical reimagining The Girl with the Pearl Earring and a book cover artist. "Storytelling is joke-telling."

Varuna runs lots of fellowships and residencies-some involving collaboration with publishers. Well worth a look and something to dream about/aspire to.
-
A great one to keep an eye on as fellowships come around several times a year. I was there last year and it is bliss.
[Writing Prompt] Copycat Story | Story A Day - 0 views
-
Take a story by a writer you really, really admire - preferably a short short story that won't take for ever to reproduce. Analyze it in minute detail: from word choice to sentence length. Now, choose a different setting and different characters with different dreams from that of the originals, and write a copycat story, following the exact structure and tone of the original.

Like Dropbox, stores and synchs your files on both your machine and in the cloud. Also provides you with Google Docs (like Microsoft office products), great for collaborating with others on documents in real time.

Great software for drafting - much easier to use than MS Word for longer pieces of writing. It's worth downloading the trial and setting aside some time to play with the tutorial. - ...2 more comments...

Yes it is, though it's only about $40. Have a play.
-
Writing software designed especially for writers. Costs around $40 (but do a search for vouchers and you may get a discount).

Some good inspirational presentations and talks to get you thinking. Regularly update with new ones, and very topical, sometimes confronting.

Google Scholar - 0 views
-
Rich repository of journal articles and published papers on almost anything. If you are a member of a university library or State Library and put that in your Scholar profile, it will tell you when you have direct access to an article in a subscription-based database.
-
It's is always worth investigating the authors of a paper before you use it from Scholar, I reckon. Universities overseas, particularly in the US, have different funding arrangements and sometimes the papers here (especially health-related ones) are less than independent.
-
Fair call. True also of many materials online - factual or opinion-based ... or in the hard to tell the difference category. One good measure of credibility (or arguments against the findings) is to look at how many other people have cited the material and what they've done with it, which you can do via Scholar.

Another possible Google Reader replacement - has a good rap so far, and promises to work on ANYTHING. You folk with old Safari versions - try to break it.

Interesting....... 'All writers are vain, selfish, and lazy, and at the very bottom of their motives there lies a mystery. Writing a book is a horrible, exhausting struggle, like a long bout of some painful illness.' George Orwell, with his breezy advocacy of a very British 'common sense', often seems as much crackpot as savant.

I forgot this most important thing: Waterproof notepads made of waterproof paper. A notepad and pencil you can use in the shower for those brilliant ideas you'll otherwise forget. I use it ALL the time.

I get all my best insights in the shower, but the fact that I forget them immediately may have something to do with my lack of success, lol.
