The Top Writing Links From Last Week Are On Twitterific: Share on X
These are great links, Elizabeth, as ever! There are lots this time on character development, and that’s really helpful. I often think that if we see our characters as, well, real people, we can better describe what they’re like and share that with readers. It may sound strange, but I think writing about them as though we were writing about our friends, cousins, work colleagues, and so on, can make them seem more real.
That’s a great tip, Margot!
Thank you, Elizabeth, for another well-researched list. Much appreciated.
Happy to share!
Thank you for the super links, Elizabeth. Thanks for sharing mine too.
Nice post, John!
