A good mix today. You find the best stuff.
Thanks, Alex! Have a great day. :)
As always, a great list, Elizabeth, for which thanks. I’m glad there are so many conferences and events this time. I really ought to plan to go to some of those events. They’re not usually feasible for me, but I do think it’s a good idea to stay connected that way.
I know there are some good ones on the west coast. I don’t make it out too much, myself, ha!
Thank you for the mention!
Thank you for being a resource for writers!
