Some good ones this week!
Ten Tweets to never send? I know one – ‘buy my book.’
Hahaha! I’ve gotten about eight of those today alone. Delete.
Alex–That’s for sure! I think I see those tweets every day in my tweet stream.
What a helpful and varied set of links, Elizabeth! It’s interesting how writers really have to do two kinds of thinking. We have to work on the craft – on creating really well-written stories. We also have to think about the business of being a writer. Sometimes I think it’s two very different kinds of thinking.
Margot–You’re so right. Right and left-brained and we have to be competent at both.
Some great posts here, Elizabeth. Thanks for the links!
Sue–Hope you have a great week!
