The Top Writing Links From Last Week Are On Twitterific: Share on X
The subjects have changed a bit in the past two weeks, haven’t they?
A whole lot, ha. Hope you have a great week!
Thanks, Elizabeth, for the links. I was looking at all of the events, etc., and thinking of all of the changes we’ve had to make given everything going on. I think right now, more than ever, it’s important for us to take care of ourselves and to be flexible.
You’ve pegged the two most-important things, Margot! Both vital.
Congratulations to you on your book release! I think this is a good time for people to read. :)
