Stay warm today!
You, too! I have hopes that things start warming up on…is it Tuesday? Thank goodness. We’re not used to this down here. I’m sick of my 6 sweaters!
I found some really good articles in the emails this week.
Great! Glad you’re enjoying those. :)
I always get good ideas from these links, Elizabeth – thanks. I’m especially glad to see the ones on getting creativity going, and using it, rather than just patiently waiting for it, if that makes sense.
It’s definitely something to be active about, instead of just waiting to be passively inspired. Hope you have a great week!
What a great roundup. Thanks for including me!
Thanks for being a resource for writers!
Thanks, Elizabeth!
I’ve bookmarked Hiveword.com.
Hope you’ll find it helpful, Kathy! Thanks.
