The Top Writing Links From Last Week Are On Twitterific: Share on X
A lot on NaNo. Good luck to everyone jumping into it tomorrow.
Yes, good luck to the NaNo-ers! November is a lot of fun.
Thanks, as ever, for the great collection of links, Elizabeth! I was especially interested in the one about sharing one’s WIP with friends. I am always torn about that. On the one hand, I’m always happy to get good ideas and useful suggestions. On the other, there’s something almost fragile about a WIP. When I have shared one, I’ve sometimes wished I hadn’t. It’s a tough decision.
It’s a hard decision, for sure! I don’t do it myself…I only share with my betas. But I will *tell* family what I’m working on. :)
Another great list, Elizabeth. Thank you! I’m looking forward to reading the posts. 😊
Thanks so much for coming by, Gwen!
Thank for putting all these great posts together in one place!
Hope you found some good posts, D.L.!
As always, Elizabeth, this is an amazing list of resources! Thank you for featuring Mae’s posts on NaNoWriMo!
My pleasure…great posts!
Wonderful collection to help authors.
Thanks, CS! Hope you have a great week.
A great collection here. Thanks, Elizabeth.
Thanks for coming by, Beem!
