The Top Writing Links From Last Week Are On Twitterific: Share on X
Science fiction characters you want to trust but shouldn’t – I’ve got to read that one!
It should be right up your alley, Alex!
Love these links, Elizabeth! I’m glad to see a few that take up freelancing. I’ve done it myself, and there’s a lot to be said for it. You have to be careful how deeply involved you get, or you don’t make enough time to do your own writing. Still, I’d certainly recommend it.
The links on freelancing did get a lot of good traffic on Twitter…thinking writers are looking for side-gigs possibly. Hope you have a great week, Margot!
Thanks for picking out the most helpful links for us. I’m interested in the one on how to get more blog comments.
Glad you found something helpful, Natalie! Thanks for coming by.
