This is an always-in-maintenance page linking to sites I’ve discovered and want to come back to as well as tools I mention in my writing which others might find useful.

General Interest
In agricultural days, staying in-tune with the seasons was important. When should we plant seeds? When should we harvest? When will the rains come? Are they late this year? Knowing what was happening with nature was the difference between a plentiful harvest and a barren crop.
Some novelists choose to open their books with a quote from another writer. This is called an epigraph. These quotes taken out of their original context are given a new life, necessarily detached from the former one. Since writers are the utmost specialists in their fields, and since the beginning of a work has such relevance to the whole, I risk saying that these selected quotes will necessarily be the crème de la crème of World’s Literature. This website was born as an attempt to document all these priceless and scattered epigraphs in only one place. A project by Fred Rocha.
