Long list today!
It is! Not sure why there was so much content!
As always, Elizabeth, these are such great links! I especially noticed the one about setting boundaries. Funnily enough, I was just reading an article the other day about people who work from home who struggle to set work/home boundaries. I think writers really do need to respect their writing time and teach others to do the same. It's hard to do that when the writer is right there at home writing. But it's important. I've read of some clever ways to do that, too.
Working from home always sounds ideal, until you’re at home with lots of distractions and family members who need attending to! Boundaries are an important thing, for sure.
