The Top Writing Links From Last Week Are On Twitterific: Share on X
I always love what I learn from your great collection of links, Elizabeth – thanks. This time, my eye was caught by the article about publishing after 40. There are a lot more people who start writing later in their careers, and I think that’s only going to get more common as the Baby Boomers age. It’s an interesting phenomenon, I think.
And I think older writers can have a different and important voice. Hope you have a great week!
Thanks for including Carolyn’s post at the IWSG last week.
Another great IWSG post!
