Thank you for another great list, Elizabeth. Your site is a tremendous resource. 🙂
Thanks, Gwen!
Another great list of blogs. Thank for including me in them, Elizabeth :)
My pleasure, D.L.!
Netflix has five Doctor Seuss stories? Please don’t let any of them star Jim Carey.
Fingers crossed, Alex!
This is a great list of links, as always, Elizabeth! It’s interesting to me that several of them deal with what I’ll call in general self-care for authors. Especially for authors who have ‘day jobs,’ I think it can be hard to see writing as the career it can be. But that’s the attitude it takes, I think, to succeed. And if you’re going to put that much into writing, it’s also important to balance that with physical and mental care. Writing is easiest and best if we’re in good health, if that makes sense.
I have all the respect for writers with day jobs…like you! It must be such a tough balance, especially with throwing self-case into the mix. Your dedication has served you well!
As always, Elizabeth, your links are helpful and resourceful! And as always, thank you for sharing Story Empire posts!
Happy to share them! Hope you have a happy week, Jan.
Another great selection of links. Thanks, Elizabeth.
Thanks for coming by, Staci!
Great links, Elizabeth. Thanks for the Story Empire mention, Too.
Great post from Story Empire, John!
Thanks for another great list, Elizabeth. Also for the Story Empire shout out.
My pleasure, Joan!
Another wonderful list, Elizabeth. Thank you for compiling this.
