I'm curious to see what tools and websites everyone uses for both writing and world building, I haven't seen any other posts other than a master post of words that other users have read in books. I'm sorry if this is a repeat of a post / has been placed in the wrong section but I thought this was a good fit.
These are some of the sites I use:
English phonemes and sound analogies * Probably more helpful to those working on Sound Effects in comics / Graphic
Writing Realistic Injuries * I use this for suspenseful and detailed scenes
Word Bank * Best way to describe this is a Thesaurus/ Dictionary. But for a thing- like different types of clothing. (but in alphabetical order)
Non-Sexual Forms of Intimacy * Basically a Tumblr Masterpost of cute things to do with your S.O. Most likely best for those writing Fluffy scenes
Polygon Map Generator 2.0 * Use Buttons and Sliders to make a land mass!
List of Character Personality traits * I really only use this when creating new characters
Comparing Heights * Some of you probably know about this one. I use this all the time, especially when trying to picture how large a creature/ building is compared to someone. AND if you hold "CTRL+SHIFT+I" to open the HTML you can swap out the silhouettes for your own pictures (just make sure they don't have a white border above or below your silhouette.)
Body.Mass.Index 3D Visualizer * Only really used for a reference in drawing characters
Medieval Fantasy City Generator * Instead of Land this one randomly creates a town for you from Small to Large!
Favourite Narrative Trope * I've used a few of these ideas before, might be useful for practicing.
RhymeZone * Words, Rhymes, Synonyms and Descriptive words
Nose Shapes and Profiles *Illustrated by Macawnivore on DeviantArt. Often used to describe a character's facial features.
Grammarly *Free to use / Can upgrade account for "an improved writing assistant"
Medieval Occupations/Jobs *Tittles and Descriptions of Common Jobs in medieval times.
That's about all I got- Please add your own links! :>
* I'll be updating this every now and then when I find other helpful links!
