Top writing links from last week on Twitterific: Share on X
As always, Elizabeth, these are great links, so thanks. I see several good ones about staying confident and productive as an author – always worth thinking about, in my opinion. And some great ones about character development, too. Lots to learn from, as ever.
Margot–For me, too. Hope you have a great week!
So many great links today. I’ve especially enjoyed the video interview you did on Wattpad!
The productivity links are a great reminder to new writers (like me!) to spend some time planning the upcoming year.
Thanks, Elizabeth.
Rose–Thanks! I enjoyed doing that interview with Orna. :) Finally got to meet her in person in October at NINC. Thanks for coming by!
I’m late. Excellent links as usual, Elizabeth. I’ve read many of these posts and they truly are wonderful.
Sue–Thanks! Have a great week. :)
