Write angry! Just don’t drive angry.
Thanks for including Mary’s guest post on the IWSG.
Another great IWSG post!
I found some great stuff in the emails this week.
There was some good stuff out on the blogs last week. :)
I always love the variety of articles you have here, Elizabeth. I’m especially drawn this time to the one titled, ‘If You Don’t Ask, the Answer is Always No.’ I like that way of thinking.
It can be hard to ask, though! I liked the message of the post. :)
Great links. I can already see that I need to check out the ones on how to fit in writing and promo. These are the two big things I’ve been worried about lately.
Thanks! There are lots of good resources on fitting promo and writing into a busy schedule. :)
Thank you for the shout out! So many great resources on this list.
Thanks to you for being one of them!
Thanks for linking to How to Exploit Negativity in Creative Writing, Elizabeth!
Thanks for being a resource for writers, Kathy!
