Research is half the fun.

I’m a research fiend. I love digging around for information, which is pretty helpful since that’s a big part of my job as a writer.

One of my friends hates researching, though, and I assume she’s not alone. So I’ve tried to make the job a little more palatable by listing some of my favorite sites, many of which I’ve bookmarked.

  • RhymeZone – rhyming dictionary

  • Encyclopedia Britannica – a classic; now online
