Quite the list this week. I’ll read the science fiction article, but at this point, if I haven’t done that, it’s way too late.
Thanks for the links, Elizabeth!
Thanks to you for coming by, Joan!
Such great links here, as always, Elizabeth! I’m seeing some especially good ones about the mental work we can do to come to the writing task with a healthy perspective. Showing up for writing is a task in itself, and it’s so important to come to it with a productive frame of mine, even if ‘real life’ means that we can only write for a few minutes each day.
Perspective and attitude means a lot, doesn’t it? It really can help us make the most of our time.
Thank you, Elizabeth for the Story Empire links.
Thanks to the Story Empire team for being a resource for writers!
Wonderful links, Elizabeth. I always look forward to your post. 😊
So glad you find it helpful, Gwen!
😊
A fantastic list, Elizabeth! Thank you for sharing the Story Empire link!
Happy to share, Jan! Hope you have a great week.
Thanks, for the great links!
Hope you have a great week, D.L.!
