The Top Writing Links From Last Week Are On Twitterific: Share on X
Thanks for including Pat’s article at the IWSG.
Another great post from the IWSG!
I’ll have to read about independent book store celebrations.
Cool post and they had ingenious ways to celebrate indie bookstores. :)
As always, Elizabeth, such great links here. I really like being able to access them later, too, when I want to review them. The one that got my attention today was the one about whether characters worry about money. I think it’s important to remember that characters are people. They worry about money, they argue with spouses and children, they get caught in traffic jams, and so on. When ‘real life’ happens to characters, I think that helps readers identify with them better.
I think so, too. I didn’t realize how much money-worries were a theme in most of my books until a reader pointed it out…in a good way!
Hope you have a great week!
