The Top Writing Links From Last Week Are On Twitterific: Share on X
Happy Easter, Elizabeth! And as ever, thanks for these links. I was really drawn to ‘Write Like No One Is Watching.’ I love the idea of not worrying too much about how many sales a book will make, or what an editor will think, at least for first drafts. All of that can come later. To get a good story out, I think it’s important to just write – not to be afraid that it’s ‘too weird,’ or ‘too’ something else. The best stories, I think, take some courage to write.
Thanks, Margot! That was actually a top tweet last week in terms of hits on Twitter. :) The author of the post makes such a great point, as do you. Hope you have a great week!
Happy Easter!
Thanks, Alex, the same to you!
