The Top Writing Links From Last Week Are On LitLinks: Share on X
I always learn so much from your Lit Links, Elizabeth! It's such a great resource, and I'm grateful you do this. Wouldn't you know it, the first link this week – should you write to the market – hit home for me. I often feel torn between writing what I'm motivated to write versus writing what seems to sell well in the bestsellers. Hard to strike that balance, if that's what it is, and that's a really helpful perspective.
It’s a tricky thing to consider! I chose to write for myself, but with an eye for the market.
