The Top Writing Links From Last Week Are On LitLinks: Share on X
Thanks for sharing the IWSG post on keywords!
Another great post from the IWSG!
These links are always so helpful, Elizabeth – thanks! I had to chuckle when I saw the one on author photos. That's one thing I really don't like doing – getting photographed. But readers do want to see what the author looks like; they want that mental image. Funny how it can be so hard to do a simple thing like sit and smile!
It’s not fun, is it! But you’re right…in today’s world, they’re a must. It’s tough to smile that much for that long!
Wow Elizabeth – what an incredible range of helpful links … the Writer's Knowledge Base is an excellent resource site – set up by Mike and endorse by you … thanks for this post – cheers Hilary
Thanks for coming by, Hilary!!
