The top writing links from last week on Twitterific: Share on X
Jules Verne a late bloomer – now I’m curious as to how late.
Alex–The father of science fiction apparently started out at age 35 (which was a lot later in life back then than it is, now!)
Oh, such great links as always, Elizabeth! You’re so good to do this for us. The one that caught my eye was the one about whether or not to do a newsletter. As you know, I keep going back and forth about that one. There seem to be such good reasons to do it…
Margot–I think it’s a good idea to at least have a *signup* for a newsletter. Then you can passively collect email addresses and decide later if you want to send one. :)
What a great list of resources! Appreciate you sharing these. I’ll have to check them out.
Thanks so much for stopping by my blog for Hilary’s interview. It was great to see you. Have a good week! :)
Karen–Thanks for coming by!
