Lee had an interesting marketing piece about TikTok at the IWSG site. Not something I’d use but I know it’s huge.
Thanks for the heads-up! I think I missed stuff during our ice day last week!
Thank you for sharing this list, Elizabeth. I always learn a lot. Have a great day!
Hope you do, too, Gwen!
Thanks for the links, Elizabeth!
Hope you have a great week, Joan!
Thank you for the great links, Elizabeth. Nice to see Joan and Staci featured.
Nice articles from them both!
Such great links, as always, Elizabeth! I’m especially liking the ones about what to do with writing advice. It’s such a balance, isn’t it? It’s wise to listen carefully to advice, but you have to think it through and decide if it’s right for you.
I totally agree…sometimes writing advice can be helpful and sometimes it can mess me up, ha!
Another wonderful roundup of resources, Elizabeth. And as always, thank you for including Story Empire!
Great Story Empire posts this week!
I appreciate your list of resources :)
Thanks, D.L.!
Another fantastic list. Thanks, Elizabeth.
Thanks, Beem!

Have a lovely week,
Jordan
