The Top Writing Links From Last Week Are On Twitterific: Share on X
Fantastic links as always, Elizabeth. I see a few here on using writing time effectively, scheduling, and so on. I sometimes think it's not enough to say, 'OK, this and that are my writing times.' You have to decide what you will do with that time. I think planned time can be a little more effective. Things don't always go as planned, but I think it's important to start with a plan.
Planned time is definitely so much more efficient! It’s good to be flexible, of course, but so important to have a plan to start out with.
Thank you, Elizabeth, for another great list. 🌞
Thanks for coming by, Gwen!
Thanks for the links, Elizabeth
Hope you have a great week, John!
I come back to these throughout the week when I have bits of time read, so thank you for making it easy on me to find worth-while posts to read.
Glad you’re finding some useful links, Elizabeth!
Thank you for another great list of blog posts, Elizabeth's :)
Thanks, D.L.!
Thanks for another wonderful list, Elizabeth.
Thank you, Staci!
As always, Elizabeth, this is a fabulous list of resources!
Thanks so much, Jan!
There are always several links of interest in your lists, Elizabeth. Thank you for taking the time to put these together in one place.
Hope you find something helpful here, Beem!
