As always, Elizabeth, thanks for the great links. The title that really caught my eye this time was Sometimes You’re the Windshield, Sometimes You’re the Bug – that’s a fantastic title! But I’m also drawn to the article about letting go of attachments when you’re writer. I’m learning that you can’t get too attached to a character, a plot point, a sub-plot, etc…If the story moves in another direction, it does, and you have to go with that sometimes. It’s a good lesson to remember for a planner like me!
I’m a planner, too, and you’re so right! Keeping things flexible is really helpful (and can be really hard!)
Thanks for including Elizabeth’s IWSG post! That was a fun one.
Another great IWSG post, Alex!
