As always, Elizabeth, I'm glad to see these links. The ones I noticed this time are on revision. That's the thing about writing; it sometimes feels as though it's never done and could always be revised. At least with today's technology, last-minute revisions may be a pain, but they can be done.
It’s always nice to have that option, too!
