The Top Writing Links From Last Week Are On Twitterific: Share on X
As always, Elizabeth, I appreciate all of these very helpful links. There are so many this time on writers’ conferences! I think it’s a Sign that I really ought to look into doing that. The actual writing part of writing has to be done alone, but all of the rest of writing really goes better when we work together.
I need to branch out to some conferences, for sure! It’s been a while. :) Hope you have a great week, Margot!
