The Top Writing Links From Last Week Are On LitLinks: Share on X
Thanks for including Pat's bit at the IWSG site. He did a really good job last week.
Thanks very much, Elizabeth, for these great links. The one that got me thinking this time is the one about getting bad advice. Getting advice is tricky for me; on the one hand, beta readers and others often have very good ideas for making a story better. On the other hand, they're not always good ideas. It requires a lot of tact and thought to deal with that…
