The Top Writing Links From Last Week Are On Twitterific: Share on X
Happy June! Can you believe it? Summer already.
The year is flying by! Happy June to you, too!
These are, as ever, such great links, Elizabeth! I noticed the one about writing a blog post, and another about the value of the daily discipline of writing. I think the two go together. Blogging is, in my opinion, great writing practice. Of course, there are a lot of other good reasons to blog, too, but just getting your fingers on that keyboard is so important. And blogging helps you do that.
Great point! Blogging is a fantastic way to develop voice and discipline.
Wonderful links, Elizabeth. Thank you for sharing them with us.
Thanks for coming by, Gwen!
As always, Elizabeth, you've listed some amazing resources for writers. Thank you for including Story Empire!
Another great post from Story Empire!
Another fabulous week of links. Thanks for assembling them, and an extra-special thanks for including me.
Great post, Staci!
Another fine list of links. Happy June, Elizabeth!
The same to you, Beem!
Thank you for putting this great list together and including me in it.
My pleasure, D.L.!
What a wonderful resource. Thanks so much for the load of links including Story Empire! Happy Spring.
Thanks to you for coming by!
