    Burn out as a full time author? I can imagine. I don’t know know how you do it. Too much pressure for me.

    1. Elizabeth Spann CraigJanuary 10, 2016

      Alex–It’s really the only right job for me. But I do need to learn to delegate/outsource more.

      Hope you have a great week!

  2. Sue ColettaJanuary 10, 2016

    There are so many links that I can’t wait to dig into. Thanks, Elizabeth!

    1. Elizabeth Spann CraigJanuary 10, 2016

      Thanks for coming by, Sue. :)

  3. Margot KinbergJanuary 10, 2016

    These are always such useful links, Elizabeth! I like the fact that there are several this time about the process itself ; I think we can all benefit from reflecting on that sometimes.

    1. Elizabeth Spann CraigJanuary 10, 2016

      Margot–Sometimes I need to slow down enough to really think about the process. It’s good not to let it get lost in the shuffle.

  4. L. Diane WolfeJanuary 10, 2016

    I’m going to read the Lovercraft article right now. Yes he’s still relevant. He’s an amazing horror author who provided genuine chills and dread. Plus some amazing creatures and a complicated mythos. I’m sure drugs were involved though.

    1. Elizabeth Spann CraigJanuary 10, 2016

      Diane–I think, if anything, he’s going through increased popularity. From what I’ve been able to gather, at any rate.

  5. Colleen M. StoryJanuary 12, 2016

    Thanks, Elizabeth! Loved the article by John Spencer. As an introvert I can definitely relate, and great suggestions for how conference faculty can accommodate both learning styles.

    1. Elizabeth Spann CraigJanuary 12, 2016

      Colleen–Thanks for coming by. :) I like that story, too. Actually, I like the whole “Quiet” blog and I ended up buying the author’s book. It’s interesting to hear from a fellow introvert on things like conferences, how group work isn’t as productive for introverts, etc.
