Thanks for including Angela Ackerman's IWSG article. She always knocks it out of the park.
She always has fantastic articles!
Interesting links, as always, Elizabeth – thanks! I saw there was one here about making oneself available as a writer. That's something I always have to think about. On the one hand, it is important to make yourself available. On the other, I'm an introvert, so it's not easy to do that for me. And there's the risk of getting distracted and not focusing on the writing. It's a tough balance, as many things are.
It certainly is! I’m an introvert, too. It’s tough to constantly put ourselves out there when all we really want to do is retreat, ha.
