    Another great batch of links! I’ve never even considered placing an epilogue in one of my books – I’ll need to read that one.
    Have a Blessed Easter, Elizabeth!

    1. Elizabeth Spann CraigApril 20, 2014

      Alex–You too, Alex!

  2. Margot KinbergApril 20, 2014

    Elizabeth – Happy Easter to you! And thanks as ever for these lovely links. My eye was caught immediately by the post about using foreign language in one’s book. And I like the title of the post about Choosing Writing. I think we do choose the ways we pursue our passion to write.

    1. Elizabeth Spann CraigApril 20, 2014

      Margot–I can imagine the foreign language link would appeal to you, as a linguist. :) Hope you have a wonderful week!

  3. Anne R. AllenApril 20, 2014
