I've been looking to use some Dalmatian for something I'm working on for my creative writing class, and the resources I've found via google seem cut and pasted from Wikipedia. Does anyone know of some good resources on the Dalmatian language?

Assuming you're talking about the extinct Romance language, and not some Ijevakian Shtovakian Malyakian Craptakian sub-sub-sub-dialect of "Serbo-Croatian", the best resource on Dalmatian remains Matteo Bartoli's Das Dalmatische. If you don't read German, however, happily there's an Italian translation: Il Dalmatico, which is published by the Istituto della Enciclopedia Italiana.

Bollocks. I just lack the patience to deal with the craziness South Slavs approach linguistics with.

To end the slavic back and forth, I was speaking about the romance language. Is there anything out there for those of us who don't speak German or Italian?

Yes.
German and Italian textbooks and courses.

Do you speak a Romance language? If so, reading Italian shouldn't be much of a problem. I made my way through a Sardinian grammar in italiano before I ever took an Italian course with little trouble.

I really don't. I've dabbled in German and Russian, but I really only 'speak' English.

Monolingualism is a disease, bro, but it is easily curable.

My knowledge of Dalmatian is a bit spotty...

Spotty. Like the dog. It's a joke. It was almost funny until two minutes ago
