The Top Writing Links From Last Week Are On Twitterific: Share on X
I’m always grateful for these links, Elizabeth! The one that got my attention today is re-starting a story/ms you’ve laid aside. I think we all have those, and it is hard to dust it off and see which parts of it can be continued. With mine, anyway, there’s a story there. It’s just a matter of deciding which parts of the ms really tell that story, if that makes sense.
Good point, Margot! And, with a break, we can see the manuscript with fresh eyes.
Great resources here. Thanks for the mention of my animation post too! 🙂
Great post, Harmony!
Thanks for the wonderful links!
Thanks for all the support, Joan!
