Thanks for including Janet Reid’s article at the IWSG site!
Great article!
I love these links, as always, Elizabeth. Such a great variety this week, too. From pickles to speaking in public. And, as always, some great advice, which I always appreciate.
The pickle article made me smile. :)
A lot of writing links this week.
There were a bit more this week, in general, I think.
