Another great set of links!
Thanks, Alex!
Lots of great links here, as always, Elizabeth. I had to smile at the one about writing not being the hardest part of a writer’s life. A lot of people think that getting the words down is what’s hard. It can be, but, for me, that’s not the hardest part at all.
It’s promoting the thing, isn’t it, ha! Lots more to a writer’s life than just writing, for sure.
I’ll have to check out the Nancy Drew for adults link. I just got one of her books out of the library to reread.
I just love Nancy! I want to check out the new TV show, too.
