Thanks for coming by, Gwen!
Lots of good stuff here as ever, Elizabeth – thanks! I’m especially drawn to the ones that talk about blocks to writing, and why it’s especially hard during these pandemic times. I’ve been finding that my novella just isn’t going as fast as I would like, and it’s reassuring to know it’s not just me!
It’s been a tough past year! You’re not alone. :)
Fabulous list. Thanks for including me.
My pleasure, Staci!
Thank you for posting the link to my Story Empire post, Elizabeth
