The Top Writing Links From Last Week Are On Twitterific: Share on X
First one! Thanks for including the IWSG post.
Another great post from the IWSG!
Excellent list! Thank you for including Edie Melson, Alycia Morales, and Ane Mulligan. I look forward to reading these articles.
Thanks, Linda! Hope you enjoy the posts and have a great week!
Thanks, as always, for the links, Elizabeth. Actually, the first ones that caught my eye were the ones about freelancing. I’ve done that in the past (‘though I haven’t in recent years), and it make me think about doing some of that again. It is a good way to stay connected professionally (and earn some extra). Much to think about, because freelancing can eat up your time, too…
I think freelancing can be a great way to make money if one is really organized with it. But you’re right…the following up with companies for payment, etc. would be time-consuming, for sure.
Great list! I’m always up for learning more about revision so I think I’ll start there :)
There were some good posts on it! Hope you have a great week, Jemi. :)
