    Elizabeth – Oh, these are great links, for which thanks as always. I really am interested in the one about saying ‘no,’ and I see a few about making characters more interesting. I can learn from those, for sure!

  2. Alex J. CavanaughMarch 17, 2013

    Need the one about story ideas!

  3. Clarissa DraperMarch 17, 2013

    Thank you, Elizabeth. I found the one about Thomas Edison and sleep fascinating.

  4. Clarissa DraperMarch 17, 2013

    I look forward to coming here every Sunday morning.

  5. Anne R. AllenMarch 17, 2013

    As usual, the best link round-up for writers on the Web! I’m so grateful for your hard work.

  6. Elizabeth Spann Craig/Riley AdamsMarch 17, 2013

    Alex–It was a good one!

    Clarissa–I think the Edison one was my favorite! I always run a sleep deficit, so loved that story. Thanks so much for coming by each week!

    Margot–I need to learn how to say no, myself! I can do it by email easily, phone less-easily, and in person…I have a really hard time saying no.

    Anne–Thanks so much, Anne! And thanks for being offering such great resources for writers on your blog!

  7. Julie MusilMarch 19, 2013

    Oooh, I know what I’m reading this afternoon! Thanks, Elizabeth :)
