Top writing links from the past week on Twitterific: Share on X
Lots of good stuff here, as always, Elizabeth. It’s interesting (and helpful!) to see so many links for ways to use social media more effectively. Harnessing the power of the Internet is important for writers, but it does take up an awful lot of time if you don’t do it efficiently.
Margot–It can be a huge time suck, for sure!
Lessons from Breaking Bad – that one I have to read!
Alex–It’s a good one. :)
As always, excellent links and so timely. Thanks, Elizabeth!
Thanks, Sue! Have a great week!
