These are some great links, Elizabeth, as always. It’s nice to see several on the writing life, staying healthy, etc.. I think it’s easy to forget that writing is holistic. If we don’t take good care of our mental and physical selves, we can’t write as well.
Thank you, Margot! I now know how important taking care of ourselves is, but it took me a while! Hope you have a great week. :)
The YA sci-fi market sucks? Then I made the right call placing our upcoming Lost Helix in the adult category.
It was a surprising video. One of her points, I think, was the crowded market. Sounds like you made the right move with your category.
