Links for Breakfast

I've run into some fabulous sites while researching my books or learning the writing craft. At the same time, word of a fabulous new site sends me running to see what great resource I've been missing. So . . . I thought it would be fun to share our favorite internet sites on this Magical Monday.

Dictionaries

Give me a new resource for words and I'm in seventh heaven. Here are a few I've bookmarked over the last few years that I use frequently.

Language

The language of those who came before us is often used in historical or paranormal novels. I know American English but other than my mother tongue, I only know bits and pieces. These sites have helped me out a lot.
