Thanks for including Janice Hardy’s post at the IWSG site last week.
Great post from Janice!
Thanks, as ever, Elizabeth, for this great set of links. I’m especially intrigued by the article about appreciating art. I think art – even if we’re not the ones making it – spurs creativity and allows us to see the world from a different point of view. That’s gotta help our writing!
I think art, of all different sorts, can really help us fill the well!
Time for my Sunday writer education!
