Hands Which Cannot Write

Useful Sites for Writers

Useful Sites for Writers

- Kim Hannah

Because sharing is caring, gusto ko din pong i-share ang ilang sites na pwede pong makatulong sa mga writers out there kagaya ko. Hehe. Na-share lang din po sa akin ang mga ito and I personally find them really helpful. (Baka alam at ginagamit niyo na rin po ang mga 'to. Hehe)

• scholar.google.com

I use Google Scholar of course, for research. One of our Paractical Research teacher adviced us to use Google Scholar instead of Google when doing research kasi ang mga articles ay from thesis and research paper talaga, so meaning, mas reliable ang sources, especially sa medical, technology, science, history, law and other fields. Suempre kahit fiction ang mga stories natin, we mostly need to research kaya malaking tulong ang site na 'to. Hehe.

• nameberry.com

Ginagamit ko naman po ang nameberry para pumili ng names ng mga characters ko, anong meaning ng mga names and so on. Nameberry has a very wide variety of names from popular to classic to unique names na pwede niyo pong pagpilian. In-explain din po nila doon iyong origin ng mga names as well as the popularity and some other names related to a certain name.

• gingersoftware.com/grammarcheck

Para lang pong Grammarly ito. Grammar and spelling checker. Minsan po, ginagamit ko din ito for double or triple checking my grammar. Hehe. Para sure.

• urbandictionary.com

I use Urban Dictionary to define 21st words, terms, expressions, idioms, text slangs and so on. I find it helpful kasi hindi mo na kailangang magpapalit-palit ng websites if you are looking for a certain word or expression. May sentences din na makakatulong para maintindihan at magamit mo ang mga words and expression nang tama.

• bing.com/translator

Sometimes, baka kailangan nating mag-translate. I personally prefer Bing Translator than Google Translate kasi mas accurate ang translation. Yun lang naman. Hehe. However, to make sure, you can use both Bing and Google Translate. But huwag lang pong mag-re-rely sa mga translator, mas maganda pa rin pong magtanong sa mga native speakers at marunong sa language na ita-translate niyo po.

Let us all keep writing.
