The Top Writing Links From Last Week Are On Twitterific: Share on X
Thanks for including the IWSG post!
Another great post from the IWSG!
I always enjoy these links a lot, Elizabeth, so thanks! The ones that I especially noticed this time are the links about perseverance and writing even when it’s hard. That’s one thing they don’t necessarily teach you in MFA programs: writing is not a sprint; it’s a marathon. Finding ways to keep going is essential. So support from other writers, so I’m glad there was a link on that topic, too!
A marathon is a good word for it! Yes, lots of good motivational posts this past week.
Wow! What a great list! And thank you for sharing!
Thanks for coming by, Jan!
Another great compilation, Elizabeth. Thank you very much.
Hope you have a happy week, Gwen!
A great list full of information!
Thanks so much, D.L.!
Thanks for another fabulous collection, Elizabeth.
Happy to share the links, Joan!
Thank you for the links, Elizabeth
Hope you have a great week, John!
