The Top Writing Links From Last Week Are On LitLinks: Share on X
  1. Thank you, Elizabeth, for another great post. I've much to study this week and will enjoy doing so. I appreciate the mention and link to one of my posts. All the best to you.

  2. As always, Elizabeth, these links are so helpful! I especially noticed the link about using first or third person. For my novels, I use third person, but I use first person for some of my flash fiction. I think it has to do with which voice draws the reader into a particular story. It's also got a lot to do, I think, with which person frees the writer to tell the story, too.
