There are some helpful resources out there and some fellow writers that are good to follow. Some of them have extrenemy helpful blogs where you can find a lot of information. Or even just following them might give you ideas or might help through the tough times. When you are struggling with your writing, maybe just to see the tweet that another writer posts might cheer you up, or help you or you just might think "I know what you mean".
This resources might help you out like it helped me.
On Twitter
There are some people on Twitter that are good to follow because they are lovely and helpful.
Emma Lombard: she has a extremely helpful blog. Plus she is a lovely person. In her blog you will find useful information about events that happen on Twitter like PitMad (where every writer can pitch about their unpublished manuscript to literary agents). She also has tips for beginners and much more.

Lolli Daskal: she has written a book, The Leadership Gap. I like following her because she has helpful blogs about being self confidence and her tweets always make me feel motivated and positive. She talks more about leadership roles and how a good leader should be, but like I said before I find some of her posts motivating and I like reading them in the morning. You start the day feeling positive.
SK Nijjar: she is a lovely person to follow on Twitter. She writes fantasy like me. Her blog is very interesting if you like fantasy. I found her writing inspiring. I like the way she writes. It always gives me ideas for structuring paragraphs and description.
Mecyll Gaspary: I found Mecyll on twitter, I don´t remember how, but I visited her page and subscribed to her newsletter. I think it was one of her freebies that caught my attention. I´m so glad I subscribed, in one of her emails she wrote that if I was struggling with my writing I could tell her about it and she would give me advice. So I did. I wrote an email about my struggles and she wrote back giving me some advice. I am so grateful for the advice and I´m going to put it to use. Thanks Mecyll.
On Pinterest
I’m new to Pinterest so I haven’t explore it much yet but I have found some interesting blog posts.
Writely me: it’s written by a young woman and I found one of her posts very helpful. 5 Ways to write an outline. I didn´t know there were 5 ways to right an outline! I was surprise that I did one of them before knowing what a plot outline was.
Deviant Art: has a post about The10WorstStoryOpenings (http://fav.me/d6nuhhc) This blog tells you about the worst clichés openings when writing a book. It is important how you write your opening since that will make the reader eager to read more. They have to want to keep reading the book. So, it´s good to know what openings to avoid.
On Google
Writer´s Digest: it’s a blog with a lot of useful information. They have many posts on how write a query letter, writing skills, interviews, etc. Wrirter´s Digest also have competitions if you are interested all the information is on their page. This is one of their posts:
