  1. Elizabeth – As ever, you have some great and fascinating links here! I see a few about uses of one’s blog and social network outlets as marketing tools. I go back and forth so much about that. On the one hand, I see the point of doing that of course. It makes sense. On the other, I think authors who do nothing but advertise their work on those social media are making a big mistake too. It’s a tough balance.

    1. Claude–I do read them all, but quickly. So…it takes about an hour or so to find and schedule links in the 2,000 or so blogs that I follow. Some of the posts I save to really study later.

  2. Elizabeth, thanks for all these great links. Love all the NaNo tips. I’m participating in NaNo for the six year, and it’s fun to see how other writers tackle the challenge.
