Surfing
the Internet for many usually leads them to either shop for things they don’t
really need, checking twitter feeds on things you don’t truly care about,
downloading bad porn, or stumbling upon Web sites that may be quirky but
useful. Here are 10 sites that should interest writers and those in the book
publishing industry:
Think
you can write a great story? How about doing so with just six sentences?
How
about doing it with just a half-dozen words?
Free
writing community for writers to get reviewed by fellow writers.
Writers
share their work, enter contests, join writing groups and more.
Learn
about 150 writing contests worth entering.
One-stop
site for screenwriting contests and markets.
Hundreds
of quotes from famous sources on the craft of writing.
Learn
about grants, contests, fellowships, and paid writing gigs.
Literary
agent Jan Reid gives straight advice to writers.
Nelson
Literary Agency founder Kristin Nelson addresses every facet of publishing
(from someone who has agented 13 NYT bestsellers).

Countries Use The Internet More Often Than Americans
It
is hard to believe but America lags way behind with online access. According to
a study of 127 countries by the International Telecommunication Union, as reported
in USA Today, only 77.9% of Americans use the Internet. Can you imagine that
more than one in five people never use the medium that drives our information
dissemination, economy, communication, and entertainment? Further, it amazes me
that almost two dozen other nations are ahead of us. Iceland tops the list with
95%, then Norway at 94%, Netherlands, Sweden and Luxembourg.
