The Top Writing Links From Last Week Are On Twitterific: Share on X
Great list as always!
Thanks, Alex!
Great links, as always, Elizabeth! For some reason, I was especially drawn to the one about exercise and writing. I wouldn’t have believed that they were closely linked, but ever since I’ve added regular exercise to my weekly routine, I simply feel better. I can concentrate better, I feel physically better, etc.. There really is a mind/body connection, and it makes sense that taking care of your body also helps you pursue your writing goals.
Sometimes I get good ideas for my story, too, when I’m out walking. And I know now that I really just *have* to exercise because I’ll end up with all sorts of back pain if I stay in my chair too long.
Thank you for including Story Empire in this wonderful group.
My pleasure, CS!
Thank you for the links and for including Story Empire among them! :)
