Thanks again for joining us at the IWSG site last week!
Thanks to you for hosting me!
These links always have such good advice, Elizabeth! I'm especially glad that you included the one on writing retreats. I have to admit I've not been able to take one, but I've always wondered what they were like and whether they really help one to focus. Maybe some day I'll do it.
We can always make our own writing retreat at home! Although I’m definitely curious about retreats with other writers.
