Another batch of great links to explore!
Thanks, Alex!
Thanks, Elizabeth, as always, for these great links. I’m especially interested in the ones that discuss making time for writing, and being productive at it when you have a ‘day job.’ That’s such a tricky thing to do, and I’m always glad for good ideas.
It’s a tricky balance…always good to have tips!
I love raiding this list for ideas.
Hope you find some good ones!
