Another great batch of links! I’ve never even considered placing an epilogue in one of my books – I’ll need to read that one.
Have a Blessed Easter, Elizabeth!
Alex–You too, Alex!
Elizabeth – Happy Easter to you! And thanks as ever for these lovely links. My eye was caught immediately by the post about using foreign language in one’s book. And I like the title of the post about Choosing Writing. I think we do choose the ways we pursue our passion to write.
Margot–I can imagine the foreign language link would appeal to you, as a linguist. :) Hope you have a wonderful week!
Happy Easter to you too, Elizabeth. Thanks for featuring three of my posts! Great links as always!
Thanks for coming by, Anne! Hope you’ve had a happy day…and thanks for writing those great posts.
I love that you think of the writers so much.
Happy Easter, Elizabeth!
Soooo many great links here, Elizabeth. Thanks!
