The Top Writing Links From Last Week Are On Twitterific: Share on X
Thanks for featuring Pat’s article at the IWSG.
A lot of writing creativity this week.
There was, indeed! And great post from Pat.
Such a great variety of links this week, Elizabeth! I see a few on finding your own individual self as a writer (e.g. creating the right writing space, finding out who you are, etc..). I think that really is part of the process of writing. On the one hand, we need each other as writers, and I always learn a lot from other writers. On the other, each of us is different. Comparing ourselves to other writers can be a big mistake.
Discovering the best process, writing space, etc. does really come with time, doesn’t it? I like to try out other writers’ ideas but tweak processes to make them work for me.
Thank you, Elizabeth, for another great collection. I always appreciate the breadth and depth of your lists. 😊
Thanks, Gwen! I try to include a little bit of everything. :)
Thanks for always supporting Story Empire.
