The Top Writing Links From Last Week Are On LitLinks: Share on X
Wow, this is incredible! Thank you for sharing, I can't wait to start going through the links.
Hope you find some good ones! Thanks for coming by. :)
I always learn so much from these links, Elizabeth! This time, I especially noticed the one about taking one's time writing. For me, anyway, it's very easy to get discouraged when the writing isn't flowing and I'm not feeling productive. But we all have different 'writing clocks.' The story happens in its own time.
The story takes the time it takes! You’re so right. Hope you have a great week.
Thanks for including the IWSG article from last week!
Another great post from the IWSG!
