Helpful Writing Resources1:00
Use these resources to boost productivity, help plan, and get that novel written! Most of these are free resources (websites and blogs), but there are some pro-level programs and apps that can also be a huge aid to you!
Helpful Writing Books1:00
These books aren't required, but they're very helpful. We'll be covering material presented in each one, and at times I'll reference them. Since most are paperbacks, available through Amazon, you can usually find them for less than a buck.

If you have to choose two, I'd recommend the first two on the list -- most of the stuff we'll be covering will be in these two amazing writing books!
