The Top Writing Links From Last Week Are On Twitterific: Share on X
Love, love, love these! But is there any way to change the color of the hyperlink? Hard for old ladies to read! ;)
Hi Laura! I have old eyes too, ha! Yes, there’s definitely a way…let me poke around in the site a little and figure it out. Thanks for coming by!
Is that better? Let me know…now I can’t tell, haha!
Pat had some good tips for slow computers!
Absolutely! And no one has time for a slow computer these days.
As always, Elizabeth, you have some great links here. I think those links related to keeping our focus as a writer will be especially helpful. Right now, with everything so unsettled, it can be hard to focus, even to choose between writing projects. It’s nice to have some ideas for ways to keep ‘on track.’
There are lots of ideas for doing so! Hope you have a great week, Margot.
Thank you so much for Tweeting my post from last week.
Thanks for the great post!
