The Top Writing Links From Last Week Are On LitLinks: Share on X
There are so many great links here today, Elizabeth! Thank you! I especially noticed Anne R. Allen's post about omniscient point of view. It's strange timing because I'm just wondering whether my current WIP may have too many POV's. I don't think so, but it's worth thinking about. See? I always learn from your Lit Links.
POVs can be tricky! I’m sure your book is in great shape, though. :)
