The top writing links from last week are on Twitterific: Share on X
  1. Thanks, as ever, Elizabeth, for these links. As always, there’s such a rich variety here! I really like the fact that there’s a focus on wordsmithing, if I can put it that way. It’s that basic stuff that makes for a good book.

  2. I hope your event on Saturday was good. Really glad they cancelled ours. No one was coming out in the middle of a hurricane with a torrential downpour and flooding.

    1. Diane–You know, it was a pretty good turnout of writers! Nice event, especially considering the buckets of water coming down and the wind. Library did a good job in Statesville. I’ll look forward to next year.
