I’m not posting tomorrow either. Enjoy the rest of your weekend!
The same to you, Alex!
Thanks, as always, for these great links, Elizabeth. One thing I noticed is that there are several conferences and events going on. I think it helps us to come out of our ‘silos’ once in a while and meet/work with each other.
I think so, too…although I haven’t done it for a while!
I think we’ll be hiding from all the rain tomorrow. Supposed to get 3 inches or more. Soggy!
It looks awful! It’s that tropical depression, right? At least today isn’t so bad (not great…but not bad!)
I haven’t been to the WKB lately, but will do so after this comment.
I love how you are dedicated to the writer as well as your readers.
Teresa
Thanks, Teresa! And thanks for the kind words. :) Hope you have a happy upcoming weekend!
