After the first draft of our masterpiece is written comes the time to begin to rewrites and edits. I found this page quite useful for self edit: http://home.earthlink.net/~jdc24/selfEdit.htm
During the blog party, the following links were offered. To make them more easily accessible for a reference to bookmark, I compiled them for this post.
For grammar and writing
http://grammar.ccc.commnet.edu/grammar/
The Guide to Grammar and Writing is a reference resource I have used for some years now. It makes fascinating browsing too, especially in the so-called Grammarlogs (their Q&A section)

I love my friend June Casagrande's Grammar Snobs Are Great Big Meanies (Penguin). It's funny and makes the point about many rules not being "rules" at all. And it's entertaining! Everyone should read one book a month on language, editing and the art of publishing. It's our careers. Even if we aren't writers.
