Hi Elizabeth – you are an examplar with these … 2015 I shall ‘dive’ in to Twittering …
Have a very happy Christmas build-up week and enjoy the seasonal fortnight with your family and friends … and thanks for all you’ve done for us over the year .. Hilary
Hilary–Thanks so much for coming by! Good luck with Twitter. It might seem like a steep learning curve at first, but once you’ve “got it,” you’ve got it. :)
You included my list of where to find book cover artists – thanks!!!
Alex–It was a great list!
Elizabeth – Always enjoy my sessions of Writing 101. Thanks for sharing these links. I like it that there are several about ways to focus and ‘streamline’ things to make the most of one’s writing time.
Great links as usual! I’ve added the Writer’s Knowledge Base badge to my site to show my support. I can’t wait to see what you have in store for 2015, Elizabeth. Happy Holidays to you and yours!
Sue–Thanks so much! And Happy Holidays to you, too!
Thanks! Awesome selection – off to check out the one about writing when life is tough
Jemi–As it always is during the holidays!
Love your links, as always!
Clarissa–Thanks so much!
Elizabeth
Thank you so much for including my article on Networking and Marketing for Introverts in the listing. It was a real labour of love for me as it’s a personal issue I’ve faced throughout my career and only really conquered when I stopped thinking of introversion as an affliction but instead realised it was an asset that I could use to my benefit.
Thank you for including me and I wish you a very happy and prosperous Christmas and New Year.
Hazel–I like your approach to the issue….always so nice to turn things that we suspect are liabilities into assets!
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you!
