Hey, there’s Chuck’s post at the IWSG! Thanks.
Great post that played well on Twitter!
Thanks, as ever, for these links, Elizabeth. I’m glad you have a few about NaNoWriMo. I’ve been wondering whether I should do that. I’ve not yet, but people I know who do it swear by it. Hmmm….
I’ve never *officially* done it…but I’ve followed along and pushed past my daily goals each day in November. It can be a good opportunity to feed off the energy of others, ha!
So many great links. The marketing one for debut authors looks like an especially good one.
I thought that one was helpful. It’s so hard, as a debut author, to know how to start the promo process.
