My Top Ten Tools for Writing Fantasy by Christina Bauer
/
As part of the launch tour for my new book, Lady Reaper, the folks at What is That Book About asked me to share a blog post on any topic. I’m choosing a top ten list because FUN! So, without further ado, here goes:
One. A Funky Name Generator
After writing fantasy, I no desire to name anything ever again. But this site helps.

Two. A Word Associator
What are fifty terms that relate to the concept of the moon? You never know when you need this kind of information until you do. Here’s the site:

Three. A Translator
Translate any document, any length, in seconds. It’s scary.

Four. An Artist Collective
I like Fiverr for cover art

Five. A List of Unusual Words
Again, you don’t need it until you do. Great for naming odd places or people.

Six. Another (Less Wacky) Name Generator
Because boring characters need names, too.
Seven. Another (Less thorough) Translator
I like to align cultures to a language base. It helps when naming places and objects.
Eight. A Grammar Checker
Grammarly, baby!
Nine. Visual Inspiration
Nothing tops Pinterest.
Ten. My site
Because shameless self-promotion is HOT!
