The top writing links from last week are on Twitterific: Click To Tweet
8 unintended consequences of becoming a writer – that one struck me as funny and perhaps ironic. Need to go read.
#7 especially resonated with me. :)
As always, a fabulous list of links, Elizabeth – Thanks! I am immediately drawn to the one about what writers would like to say to their worst critics… ;-) And I hadn’t thought about using film techniques in writing, but that’s intriguing…
I think some techniques for film work very well for novels–it just depends on which techniques we’re talking about! Hope you have a great week!
Thank you for the shout out! Will defnitely be checking out this list myself.

Thanks for being a resource for writers!
[…] I found out about her efforts when Porter Anderson (@Porter_Anderson) tweeted about her blog post and linked me to the post. (Thank you, Porter!). My Women of Writing post, Are Your Writing Habits Beach Ready? Writing in the Summer had been included in the category Creativity and Inspiration/Productivity/Fitting in Writing. It was quite an honor and a pleasant surprise during such a busy week. You can see Elizabeth’s entire post here. […]
