The Top 42 Writing Posts Of 2020

In this post, we share the top 42 writing posts of 2020.

At the beginning of every year we have a tradition of posting our Top 42 Writing Posts from the previous year.

(There was no special reason for the number 42 in 2013 when we started, but we’ve kept up the tradition.)

These were the posts you most wanted to see on this website in 2020.

The most viewed post was The 4 Pillars Of Fantasy. A surprising second was our Thriller Book Title Generator. Third place went to the popular post: 5 Steps To Creativity In Writing

We have divided the posts into categories for you to explore subjects that may interest you.
