    Elizabeth – Oh, these are as always terrific links! I have got to find out how to tell people I’m a writer without telling them anything – terrific! Not sure that I exactly want to know how all the caffeine I drink affects my brain ;-)…

  2. Catie RhodesSeptember 15, 2013

    Thanks for mentioning my blog! Ironically, my other favorite article you liked to here is “Why I Want to Talk You Out of Blogging.” :)

  3. Alex J. CavanaughSeptember 15, 2013

    Manage multi-author blogs without losing mind – I need that one right now for the IWSG site!

  4. Elizabeth Spann Craig/Riley AdamsSeptember 15, 2013

    Margot–That first link is a lot of fun. And do read the caffeine one! Believe it or not–caffeine isn’t the villain everyone says it is. :)

    Alex–Yes! So excited about the IWSG site…will be a fantastic resource for writers.

  5. Elizabeth Spann Craig/Riley AdamsSeptember 15, 2013

    Catie–Thanks for coming by and for the great post!

    Yes, Carol’s post is one to make us think. If we have to force ourselves to blog, the blog sure won’t last for long. Don’t think you have that problem…looks like blogging is a great outlet for you! :)

  6. Clarissa DraperSeptember 15, 2013
