As always, Elizabeth, I appreciate all the work you put into curating these links and sharing them. The one I especially noticed today was the one about 'owning your age.' I've always liked writing, but I didn't see myself as a writer, if that's the way to put it, until I was older. It's a different experience from writing, say, your first novel when you're in your twenties.
Thanks for coming by!
