    As always, Elizabeth, these are great links, so thanks. I see several good ones about staying confident and productive as an author – always worth thinking about, in my opinion. And some great ones about character development, too. Lots to learn from, as ever.

    1. Elizabeth Spann CraigDecember 13, 2015

      Margot–For me, too. Hope you have a great week!

  2. Rose KerrDecember 13, 2015

    So many great links today. I’ve especially enjoyed the video interview you did on Wattpad!
    The productivity links are a great reminder to new writers (like me!) to spend some time planning the upcoming year.
    Thanks, Elizabeth.

      Rose–Thanks! I enjoyed doing that interview with Orna. :) Finally got to meet her in person in October at NINC. Thanks for coming by!

  3. Sue ColettaDecember 16, 2015

    I’m late. Excellent links as usual, Elizabeth. I’ve read many of these posts and they truly are wonderful.

    1. Elizabeth Spann CraigDecember 16, 2015

      Sue–Thanks! Have a great week. :)
