Thanks for including Sean’s post at the IWSG site.
Another great post from the IWSG!
Thanks for the links, as always, Elizabeth. I’m glad to see that there are some on self-care this time. It can be easy to forget about that, in the midst of writing, taking care of the business end of writing, and being a part of the writing community. It can all be a bit overwhelming, so it makes sense to make sure to take care of oneself. That’s especially true, I think, for writers who have ‘day jobs.’
There’s always so much to juggle, isn’t there? Self-care is so important. Hope you have a restful weekend, Margot!
Wow, that was a lot of work. Thank you!
Thanks for coming by, Yolanda!
