Reedsy had some good articles this week.
They sure did. And their resources page on their site has a lot of good stuff, too.
So many excellent links here, as ever, Elizabeth. I’m glad there are several about NaNoWriMo . I’ve not done that, myself, ‘though every time it comes up, I tell myself I should. Perhaps one of these years…
Never a great time for me in November!
Hope you have a good week!
I still have all the emails this week from Hive World to go through! LOL
Sounds like you’ve had a crazy week! Nothing like too much info to process. :)
Diane, if it’s too much you can get a weekly email or reduce the number of categories you receive. I love getting the daily emails (no filter! ;-) ) but I’d hate for the emails to be a burden on anyone. You can also scroll though the chronological articles at any time at https://hiveword.com/wkb/browse. HTH
So many great links. Thanks for taking the time to post them all for us.
It’s my pleasure. Thanks for coming by!
