The Toolbox

INK will be establishing its own version of the writer's toolbox, using our blog posts to do so. I'll be adding links to those posts through the label post section of the sidebar here, so anyone interested in looking up helpful (well, we think it's helpful) information on such topics as characterization or plotting will be able to do so with just a few button clicks. New toolbox topics will be added as a new topic here and then added as a link. And to get us started, I'll retrofit the older topics here first. Starting today!
