Thanks for including the IWSG post from last Monday!
And thanks for the guest suggestions – we have a couple awesome ones planned for the summer now.
Alex–Oh good! Looking forward to seeing those guest posts.
Elizabeth – Thanks as ever for these links. I like it that several of them have suggestions for de-stressing the writing process. Always good to remember to try to lower the stress level.
Margot–For sure! And it can be tricky to do.
Another superb list of shareables and bookmarkables. :) Cheer Elizabeth. Of course, that means I’ll be procrastinating for quite some time… Oh well! :)
shahwharton.com
Shah–I know what you mean! It’s easy to get lost in the links. :)
Elizabeth–
Another week, another generous bibliography of resources for writers. Thank you, thank you.
Thanks, Barry! Hope you have a great week…with lots of good writing time.
Elizabeth, your links are absolutely the best. Thanks so much for compiling this awesome list.
