I started looking at some of the websites I normally visit. I find myself attracted to some of the more informative, kick you in the ass style, ones. Since I plan on writing something eventually (I should put my degree to use somehow), I've been looking at some resources.
I originally started with the whole Blogging experience by reading Warren Ellis' site. I don't know him personally, but I am a fan of his comics work. After reading some of his mainstream comic titles, I delved into more of his esoteric writing. While reading, I discovered that you don't really need to be claimed down to one idea or genre.
From Warren Ellis, I tacked onto John Roger's Kung Fu Monkey. I was originally attracted to the site through Warren's because of a post about the state of the comic book industry. I liked the style and flow of Rodger's writing, so I kept coming back for more. It inspired me in some ways to start this blog here. It's on the same host site. Hell, I used the same template design.
Since I keep leap-frogging to get more data for my malnourished brain, I found a link on Kung Fu Monkey for yet another writing site. Wordplayer contains articles on trying to develop and sell potential screenplay. I just started reading the columns, and they are pretty interesting. While I may not want to extensively write screenplays, the site is treated as just a resource for writing in general for me. It emphasizes the points of a script or story that should standout and get recognized. It's something that I'm going to digest and decide for myself where to go next.
