    You know how I always preach to never just look at ONE writing guide or blog for advice? Well, here's 100 of them:

    (Click the EXTERNAL LINK!)
    
                          
    (wattpad's on the list, lol)
    
                          
    Here are a couple blogs I follow that aren't on the list (Check one of the first comments on this chapter. I posted all the links so you can click on them!): 
    
                          
    http://readingwithavengeance.tumblr.com/ The owner goes line-by-line in popular/mainstream YA books and rips them to shreds. You can learn a lot about how to write well by seeing someone criticize bad writing. She doesn't just give baseless hate and bashing; she explains her snarks thoroughly and gives great analyses. While you shouldn't take her word as law (never take anyone's word as law!), you can still learn a ton from her! Her blog also features writing tips and book recommendations.
    
                          
    http://reasoningwithvampires.tumblr.com/page/108 Same thing with chapter snarks, but this is exclusively on the Twilight Saga.
    
                          
    http://thewritingcafe.tumblr.com/ A writing advice blog run by several people (so you get a spectrum of opinions and backgrounds!) who get asks about writing and answer them. They offer phenomenal advice. If you hit "tags" up in the navigation bar, it is a GOLD MINE of resources for writers featuring posts on absolutely anything and everything you can think of that's writing-related. E.g. history, mythology, mental illness, characterization, world building, publishing, diversity, technical writing, plot, romance, crime... There's just so much on there that I doubt you can get through it in your lifetime. Lovely site!
    
                          
    http://writingquotes.tumblr.com/ A collection of thousands of quotes on writing by authors and the like. Some are motivational, some are insightful, some are witty, etc. A nice pick-me-up to read through after a stressful day. :)
    
                          
    http://the-right-writing.tumblr.com/ Another writing advice blog.
    
                          
    http://title2come.tumblr.com/ Funny, relatable reaction gifs all writers can relate to!
    
                          
    http://www.rejectedprincesses.com/ This is a unique blog where this guy researches really obscure females in history/mythology who were either terrifying, badass, or both. You can find great inspiration for strong and interesting female leads here!
