The Top Writing Links From Last Week Are On LitLinks: Share on X
A lot from Pubperspectives this week.
Lots going on in the world of publishing!
These links are great, Elizabeth, as always. Thanks! I noticed one about writing quotes from famous authors. I like the idea of learning from other writers' wisdom and experience. It shows we're not alone. It's helpful to know that all writers have certain struggles, and all writers have ideas to help, too.
I think it’s what makes writing so much easier these days. We can find the help we need online on a variety of subjects.
