The Top Writing Links From Last Week Are On Twitterific: Share on X
Thanks as ever for the links, Elizabeth! I love it that there's one this time about involving family. I know my family's been really supportive of my writing. In fact, it was at their suggestion that I started writing novels in the first place! I think it's a whole lot easier to balance everything in life if the family's part of the writing team, so to speak.
That’s wonderful that you’ve have such a supportive family, Margot! Good point about making it easier to find that work-life balance.
Thank you, Elizabeth, for sharing another great list. There's so much to learn about the world of writing. Have a great week!
Hope you have a happy week too, Gwen!
So much about TikTok and yet I think its days are numbered here in this country.
I’ve heard that BookTok might not be as influential this year, too.
Like always, you have so many good links that I want to check out.
