Thanks for including the IWSG post!
Another great article from the IWSG!
Pretending it’s a normal summer – LOL! I hope your break doesn’t involve going outside. Wow, is it hot right now.
It’s sooo hot. I’ve been playing ball out in the backyard with the dog and roasting!
Wouldn’t you know it, Elizabeth? The very first link I see is one about KDP, which really interests me. I really need to get better at the business of writing, and step by step, I’m trying to do that. It’s good to see some useful posts that remind me to do that part of writing, too. Enjoy your break!
Great! Hope the post will be helpful, Margot. :)
I missed the book club one by Chrys & Natalie – I’ll have to check that one out … and a few more!
Enjoy your blog break in this weird and wacky summer!
Weird and wacky, for sure!
