Elizabeth – As always, a great group of links. I’m glad there’s one about having a newsletter. The fact is, I’ve been wondering whether I ought to put a newsletter together, and if so, what would be in it and how I’d structure it. I need to read up on that.
Margot–You should! I was slow on this, too. I use MailChimp, which is free up to a certain level of subscribers (which I’m nowhere near). They have templates you can use and a button that can go on your webpage for signups. They also have easy unsubscribe and some analytics. You could have a section for mystery writers and one for your readers. I’d sign up. :)
Some great links – off to explore!
Alex–Have a great week!
Thanks for the links – I think I need to start with “stop aspiring”! :)
Jemi–Most definitely! You *are* a writer.
As always, thanks for all the great information you provide writers! Very helpful. Judy Christie
Judy–Thanks so much for dropping by. Have a happy week!
Seems the last week might have been a press. Hope all is going swimmingly.
Always appreciate these links and the time they take.
Thanks.
Jack–Thanks for saying so and thanks for coming by. :)
Thanks, Elizabeth! I loved the post about writing metaphors. That’s something I’m working on. Gillian Flynn, author of Gone Girl and Sharp Objects, writes amazing metaphors. I would’ve written them down, but I was too engrossed in her books!
Julie–Glad it was helpful! And good luck with the metaphors. It’s tricky for me, too.
