REALLY NICE RESOURCES
FOR FICTION WRITERS
FOR FICTION WRITERS
I came across this site called CreativIndie by a guy named Derek Murphy that I really found valuable.
Well, Derek Murphy isn't just some 'guy' --- he's a guy with a MA in Harry Potter and a PhD in Paradise Lost. He's studied fine art in Florence and philosophy in Malta. He's been featured on CNN for running writing retreats in medieval castles and his books are famously all over Amazon.com.
To say I was impressed is an understatement.
So, I grabbed a few of his freebies to share with you here. I will also include a few links to his blog content so you'll see what you're missing.
I feel that once you're there, you will want to hang around.
I pulled together these e-books for you to download:
But I'm just getting started ...
Additionally, I'm including a PDF of a very nice poster (you'll read more about that in a minute), a neat PDF on plotting and structure; and a folder entitled 5 Minimal Templates you can edit as you please to make your own fiction works more professional.
BUT WAIT --- THERE'S EVEN MORE
GOOD STUFF WHERE THAT CAME FROM!
If you're a fiction writer (or any creative writer) you can learn a great deal from reading Murphy's blog posts and grabbing his resources.
For example, you will love-love-love his Plot Dot -- an interactive, adult coloring book for authors that guides you, visually, to plotting your novel and writing unforgettable scenes!

Or his very interesting story, entitled How I Got Kicked Out of Kindle Unlimited And (Almost) Lost $50,000 Overnight.

Then, he points you to a free online ISBN barcode generator with easy to follow instructions. Just type in your official ISBN.org-issued International Standard Book Number and this app will generate a zipped file with a high resolution barcode in EPS and PDF formats you can use on the back cover of your books (adding the price is optional).

And, remember that poster I said you'd read about ...?
This is the lovely graphic Wheel of Emotions Poster I was referring to. You can get it on his blog (download links included -- see below) in black-and-white PDF, or in a light-colored or dark-colored JPG format (like the one shown above).

Enjoy the share! Let me know if you have any issues with my Mediafire link (lately, a few of my links have been nuked on file share servers due to TOS violations). So get the main download while you can.
I won't bother re-upping all this.
for reading!
