Have you ever been writing along and then find yourself stuck for a word?
Ever need to be sure of a spelling, or a meaning, or a word that would say the same thing – only better?
Do you write poetry or occasionally really want a rhyming word?
Do you just simply want some motivation to write, or a little diversion?
I have found a few helpful sites that I thought may be of benefit to you, too. As well as listing them in this post, I also am going to create a new page here on my blog just for writers’ helps. As I find more I will add them to that page.
Check these out and let me know what you think.
Needing just the right word, or the correct meaning:
Needing words that rhyme:
Needing motivation:
Needing the exact number of words:
- Word count and Character Count
- Word Count Tool
- Word & Character Counter, typing speed test, changer of case
Translators & Quotes to spice things up:
Then when you need shorter links to post:
Are there any others that you just don’t want to be without? Please tell me about them – with link – so that I can possibly add them to my list. Thanks!
Thanks for reading, and .. Creative Musings! 🙂

Good list. Another one that I use all the time is Thesaurus.com. I’m a pretty good speller, so I usually just click into Google for those issues and do a search for the word.
Sometimes I get tangled up in pairs of words like which/that, and a quick google search for the pair is faster than going to a particular site and then searching.

Thank you for that link. I checked it out and will be adding it to my list when I get the new page set up for these.
I tend to use Google sometimes too, it’s quick and easy, although there’s the possibility of getting sidetracked on there. 😉

What a helpful little list! Thanks for sharing it. I tend to be quite disorganized. I have little scraps of paper all over my desk with things like this. My favorite right now is this one: http://www.renlearn.com/store/quiz_home.asp?c=MA+90%3A04%3A7+2102%2F01%2F4
where you can find out the word count of books.

Thanks, Ruth. I’m glad this is helpful for you. I checked out the link you gave me. It took me a couple of minutes to figure out how to find the word count of “Gone With The Wind” – the book I chose to test it out. 418053 words. This could be a fun and helpful tool. Thanks! 🙂
