The Top Writing Links From Last Week Are On LitLinks: Share on X
Thanks for this, Elizabeth. There are always such great links here! I especially noticed the one about how to talk to people about one's creative work. That's a challenge for me, as there's such a fine line between letting people know about my work (which I need to do) and going overboard and being annoying (which, of course, I don't want to do). It's a difficult balance, that's for sure! And there's also the issue of what to say about one's work, too…
It’s tricky, for sure! I speak about my work in the vaguest of terms. :) I’ve never been comfortable talking about it in social settings.
