A quick note: I’m taking the next month off from blogging, aside from the weekly Twitterific posts. I’m navigating an in-state move and have a feeling I’ll need the time off to focus on it! See you on Mon. March 28.

The Top Writing Links From Last Week Are On Twitterific: Share on X
Thank you, Elizabeth, for another great list. So much to explore!
Hope you find some good posts, Gwen!
Thank you for a great list, Elizabeth, and for sharing my Story Empire post.
Great post, Joan!
Good luck with the move. They’re never fun.
It’s a bear! But we’re working through it. :)
These are great links as always, Elizabeth! It’s interesting that there are several on New Year goals and resolutions. I always see that as a bit tricky. We need goals of course, and resolutions help us focus. But I think they can also be a source of too much anxiety. I think we have to balance them with flexibility as things happen.
So true, Margot! It’s good to have flexible goals and maybe even more important to have realistic ones. Life gets busy!
Another week of amazing content, Elizabeth! As always, thank you for including Story Empire!
Great content from Story Empire!
Thank you for including one of my posts in your amazing list for authors :)
Great post, D.L.!

Thanks for coming by, Beem!
Thank you for another great list!
Once again, I linked to this post as part of the Informational Monday on the IWSG Facebook page.
Thanks so much for that, Michelle!
Good luck with the move! Your link post is a post I return to during the week because I never have time in one sitting to read all the articles I want to read. It makes for great studying through the week, so I appreciate you keeping it up.
Thank you, Elizabeth! And I’m glad the links are helpful!
Thank you once again for a great round-up, Elizabeth. We’re always glad to be included in this helpful resource for writers.
