Thanks for including the IWSG post last week on author websites!
Great post from the IWSG!
You always have such great links here, Elizabeth! I liked the title <i>Write Like No One is Reading</i>; it's a great reminder that first drafts are just for creating ideas. Later drafts are for the revision, grammar, and so on. But if you don't write what you're being driven to write, the final product won't be interesting. Love that idea!
I love it too, and I think it will help a lot of writers who freeze up!
