Thanks for including Nick’s post at the IWSG!
Another great post from the IWSG!
Oh, that post on promises writers make to the reader sounds really interesting, Elizabeth! I think of writing as a way of communicating with the reader, and it makes sense that that would include an understanding of what the reader has the right to expect. Fascinating!
I thought it was a good reminder that we really do need to deliver on our implicit promises!
Hi Elizabeth,
In an interview I did with WritesWithTools, I named Twitterific Writing Links as one of my must-have writing resources!
If you want to check it out, here is the link (look for the fourth question):

Great interview! And thanks so much for the mention…I appreciate it. :)
