Hey guys! I just have a short post for you today, due to working on some other projects (wink, wink ๐ ), but I hope will benefit some of you!
As writers, we all know the internet is severely distracting and procrastination-inducing, but it isn’t all bad for us writers! Here are 3 websites that I use like crazy when I’m writing.
Tabletop Audio
This is a website with dozens of ambience and music tracks with tons of different places and moods. It’s especially helpful when you want to really place yourself into the atmosphere of whatever you’re writing. I tend to use the Fantasy section most often, but they sections with really awesome Sci-Fi and Historical tracks too!
WordHippo
You’ve probably heard of this one. It’s my favorite thesaurus/dictionary to use, with a really friendly interface and a forgiving search bar. You can search ‘give someone the creeps’ and it will come up with results. It also has a translator and a rhyming dictionary, which is all kinds of handy.
Fantasy Name Generators
If you ever want hundreds of different names (not just fantasy, as the name implies), give this a look. It comes with more classic name generators, with names from different countries and time periods, while also having made-up names for different mythical creatures, place name generators, pop culture name generators, object name generators, and even description generators. I highly recommend if name-giving is not your specialty. And also if it is, too, because it’s just super fun to explore. ๐
I . . . have never heard of ANY of these???? But OH MY GOODNESS I AM BOOKMARKING THEM ALL. Tabletop Audio and Word Hippo sound like the ones I’ll be using the most, but I’m definitely going to have to give that name generator a try!! Thank you SO much for these resources!!!

I KNOW, RIGHT?? I am an abomination to the Cyberwebs… See, typically I just google synonyms for words I need, but I feel like Word Hippo is going to be a lot more accurate and useful. XD
I’m really excited to check them out! I haven’t gotten the chance to quite yet, but hopefully the next time I need a synonym or word definition I can remember to pull out Word Hippo…
