Edit: I have created a web site which now archives all of the links that you will find below in the post. The web site is HERE. Please bookmark that site so that you can use it in the future, as I will be adding more links.
If you know of more links that would fall in to any of these categories and would like to submit more, please do the following:
1. First, check to make sure that I do not all ready list the link(s) you would like to submit.
2. You can either comment here, or e-mail me the links at InspiredWritersMods@gmail.com with the subject of "writing resources links" or something along those lines.
3. Give me the following information:

NaNo Threads
The following links to various threads at the NaNo boards. As time goes on over the next month or so, they will definitely be filling up with more resources. However, because of NaNoWriMo, the site could end up being slow at various, random times, so keep that in mind when visiting these links. Right now it should be okay, but the first week of November will probably be nuts. Also, the "adopt-a..." and dare threads tend to be filled with more silly than some might want for their novels, so keep that in mind.
