The Top Writing Links From Last Week Are On Twitterific: Share on X
Tyrean’s article at the IWSG was excellent!
I thought so, too!
The links you share always have so much to offer, Elizabeth – thanks. I’m glad you included some about the business side of writing. Right now I’m struggling a bit with how to market myself productively (and without spending a fortune!) while at the same time, not being obnoxious about it. That balance is delicate!
So true that it’s tricky, Margot! Hope you find some good help in the links. Have a great week!
Thanks for sharing more great links. The titles make them all sound so interesting.
Thanks for coming by, Natalie!
