For the Knowledge Sharing project, I decided to curate and annotate several links that I use for writing research. I'll share the link here as part of the effort to get the collection out onto the net.

Many of my novel and script ideas involve Jewish mysticism in different aspects. I was able to use tags within Diigo to point out which resources are useful for these tasks. A few are marked with specific story tags, like "Golem" and "Astrakhan". Some are collections of ancient texts; others are concordances, which identify the usage of words in a text. Because I don't speak Hebrew fluently, I've come up with a way to cheat by using the concordances with a few dictionary sites to create the phrasing I need.
Been lurking on your blog tonight, Doug, and was happy to read about your Knowledge Sharing and Tracking project. I didn't remember from our introductions that you write! That's awesome, I have a deep respect for writers. I am reading a pretty long historical fiction and after every book, the author thanks people who helped her do her research. This post reminded me of that... It takes a lot of information to write well. It's great to see how you can use tools to accumulate knowledge and ideas on that front.
