    Non-fiction as a side hustle. That made me chuckle.
    Another great list of links!

  2. Margot KinbergSeptember 28, 2014

    Such great links, as ever, Elizabeth – thanks! There are quite a few here about managing time and getting through processes like revisions. I love finding out what other writers do to manage IT ALL.
