Lot of links about writing quickly – I’ll take that as a hint!
Alex–I think you’re doing okay! :)
Elizabeth – As always, some great links here! I’m interested in the one on thinking about your novel’s theme. That’s something that doesn’t always occur to me as a writer. And of course, the Agatha Christie one got my attention right away. :-)

Thanks for sharing my post! It’s much appreciated. :)
Have a great week!
