The Top Writing Links From Last Week Are On Twitterific: Share on X
One from Dan Koboldt – he’s one of the judges for the anthology contest this year.
That’s great! Looking forward to reading the book when it comes out. :)
Wonderful list! Thank you, Elizabeth, I’m looking forward to exploring each link. YAY! ☺
Thanks, Gwen! Hope you find some helpful links. 😀
I always like learning from these links, Elizabeth! And the ones about keeping one’s spirits up and mind focused, especially during this pandemic, are particularly important for us as writers. It’s easy to get distracted/discouraged/etc., and good to have ways to cope with that. I’m glad you included them.
It’s been a frustrating year, hasn’t it? The links have definitely been helpful for me, too. 😀
Hi Elizabeth,
Thanks for sharing my story structure articles on writing a nail-biter climax and picking the perfect resolution!
As a fan of Friends, I also really enjoyed the article by the 10 Minute Novelist on how to connect with your readers. It was fun to see the show being used as a lens to understand how to do author promo right.
Hope you had a great weekend!
Thanks for being a great resource for writers, HRD!
That was a great post, wasn’t it? Fun way to illustrate a point.
Have a great week!
Thanks for this great list, Elizabeth. And it’s wonderful to see Story Empire get a mention! :)
