Holly has a lot of other resources for writers. Check out:

• www.writercrashtest.com
• www.howtothinksideways.com
• and of course, www.hollylisle.com which is crammed full of useful information (you might want to tie yourself down before going in there, you could get lost in there!)

LJ Sellers, author of The Sex Club, is a mystery writer. She offers some tips and advice on plotting your story and keeping things organized. Here's a great post to read and while you're there, check out her other sage advice she gives:

Another blot/site to visit is JA Konrath's (Jack Kilborn series) site, specifically the "Newbie's Guide to Publishing" which is a free book and well worth the read even before you start (or finish) your novel.
