A nice group on links, Elizabeth. Thanks for sharing the one for Story Empire.
Thank you, Joan! And my pleasure. :)
Thank you for the link to Joan’s Story Empire post, Elizabeth. Also thanks for the super links to amazing amounts of information.
I appreciate Story Empire’s great posts for writers, John! And thanks to you for the kind words and for coming by. :)
This is a great collection of links, as ever, Elizabeth. For some reason, I was especially drawn to the posts about The Great Gatsby. That’s one of those novels that I think can be argued to be a crime novel, even though that’s not how it’s traditionally been viewed. And I think there are a lot of other ‘classic’ novels like that. Sometimes the genre lines get blurred…
I like your perspective on Gatsby! It’s fun to think of it as a crime novel. I think there’s a little mystery in a lot of books, like there’s a little romance in many, too.
Thanks for sharing the great links. The one by K.M. Weiland on newsletters had lots of great tips.
I thought that was useful, too!
Thank you for sharing all the useful links:)
It’s my pleasure! Thanks for coming by. :)
