Thanks for including Damien’s IWSG article!
Another great post from the IWSG!
I saw the one about co-authoring without violence on Twitter and had to giggle!
Isn’t that great? :) It seemed to get some good traffic, ha.
Thanks, as always, for the links, Elizabeth. I was really struck by the one about creating fiction in the midst of this pandemic. I think a lot about that, from wondering whether I should integrate it into my WIP to trying not to let it get to me too much, if that makes sense. Focus is so important for writing, but so hard to maintain right now.
It’s hard to maintain with all the stress we’re under. It’s much tougher for me to push myself into the writing zone. I’ve had to create several writing times a day lately instead of knocking it all out first thing, like I do ordinarily.
So many good links. The one on the pillars of fantasy sounds interesting.
Fantastic list! I’m looking forward to visiting each site! 😊
Thanks so much for coming by, Gwen!
A fantastic list of excellent writing and publishing resources. Thank you so much for mentioning both myself and Story Empire. I had such a huge learning curve when I first published, and it is my hope that my how-to-publish-to-KDP series eases the process for my fellow authors… both old and new! Have a wonderful week, everyone 🙂
You’ve broken it down into easy-to-understand steps, Harmony! Thanks so much for being a resource for writers. 😀
