The Top Writing Links From Last Week Are On Lit Links: Share on X
Thanks for including Damy's IWSG post!
Great post from the IWSG!
You always choose the most interesting links, Elizabeth! I was especially noticing the one about having a scrap pile. I really like that concept. A story idea or character may not work for one project, but it could be perfect for another. It's a bit like keeping small squares of material and using them to make a blanket. A story scrap pile makes sense!
I liked that idea, too! Hope you have a great week.
