A time travel article! Must check it out.
Hope you enjoy it!
Great links as ever, Elizabeth. I’m especially happy to see the links about reading as a writer. I think if there’s one thing that writers can do to grow as writers, it’s read. That’s how you learn so very much.
Very good point! I read a lot (mostly outside my genre) and it really helps inform my writing. Hope you have a great week!
Great reference! Thanks so much!
Thanks for coming by, Regina!
I didn’t have time to read all that I wanted, but I did gather a lot of notes from different places. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks so much for coming by, Elizabeth!
