The Top Writing Links From Last Week Are On Twitterific: Share on X
Another great list!
Thanks, Alex!
Thanks for all the work you put into compiling these links. And a big thanks for sharing my Story Empire post.
Great post, Joan!
Thank you for another wonderful list, Elizabeth. I look forward to going through the links. Have a great day!
Hope you find some interesting articles, Gwen!
Thanks, as always, for these links, Elizabeth. There are a few here that get at what I’ll call ‘down time.’ For me, anyway, it’s a delicate balance. On the one hand, authors need to nurture creativity, and practice self-care. On the other, that book ain’t gonna write itself. ‘Down time’ fuels creativity and productivity, but not if you’re not sitting in that chair working. I think all writers have to figure out how to balance those things. It’s an important thing to consider.
Well said! It’s such an important balance, isn’t it?
