Thanks for including Hank’s guest post at the IWSG last week.
Have a great Sunday!
Another great IWSG post! Have a good week. :)
As always, Elizabeth, I appreciate all of these useful links. I’m glad there are a few this week on keeping the fun in writing. Having a writing career is very hard work, so it’s also important to remember to enjoy it, too. Those fun moments are great morale-boosters.
They remind us why we do it, for sure!
You always find so many great articles.
There have been lots of good ones lately!
