Some good ones this week!
Thanks, Alex! Have a great week.
I don’t know how you do it week after week. Excellent posts! I’m honored to be in such great company. Thank you!
So many great links this time, Elizabeth. You have a few here related to story structure – must check them out. I think it’s really easy to get too accustomed to using the same structure all the time without innovating here and there.
