So many great links here – thanks, Elizabeth. And that’s a really interesting one: What do you do if you’re ashamed of your work? Lots to think about, for which thanks.
Thanks, Margot! There was a lot of response on Twitter to that one. I think it’s an area that writers think about, but don’t necessarily talk about much.
I saw that one about Facebook and links becoming spam. It’s marked for me to read. I post often enough that I could see it happening.
I know what you mean. Facebook is a challenge to work with/around.
