Lessons from the Force Awakens? Now, that one I have to read.
Alex–It’s a good one! Have a great week.
Thanks, as ever, Elizabeth, for those great links. I like that so many of them this time are focused on ways to improve characters and stories. Sometimes there’s so much pressure to get yourself ‘out there’ and do the business of writing that it’s easy to forget to, well, write.
Margot–It’s all too easy to forget! So right. Have a nice week!
Does the five easy ways of handling emails include ignoring or deleting? LOL
Diane–Ha! I’ve certainly done both when handling emails. :)
Great post, I’ll check out the links!
Thanks, Gina!
What a useful and inspiring list, Elizabeth. Thank you so much for compiling it and thank you for including one of my posts in the mix. What a great way to start my week. :) Now, I’m off to explore your selections!
Jamie–Great post! Thanks for coming by.
