A lot of writing articles this week.
There were! Sometimes these things run in cycles.
As always, Elizabeth, thanks for these links. I learn every time I’m here. And I really like it that there are so many good pieces on the writing life this time. It’s helpful to learn from the way other people balance it all.
It’s nice to have the writing community for support!
Nice to see someone posted about querying publishers rather than agents.
Exactly. That’s when things finally started moving for me…when I stopped querying agents and started querying publishers.
So many great links to articles. If only I didn’t need to sleep. Glad you have Janice Hardy listed. Her articles are always so informative.
Janice and her team always do a remarkable job at Fiction University! Hope you have a great week, Natalie. :)
Thanks for including me in the list that came to be!
Thanks for being a resource for writers!
Thanks for linking to 100+ Ways to Say “Sad”, Elizabeth!
Thanks for being a great resource for writers, Kathy! Have a good week.
