Hey, we made your list! And wow, was #IWSGPit ever successful. Twice as many tweets as last year.
That’s so good to hear! I could tell that the event was getting a lot of interest on Twitter. Congratulations!
I saw the one about hashtags. I also watched an online event Thursday about Pinterest that has me really excited.
I’m on Pinterest, but it’s totally static. I should really do more there…I think my readers are there.
As always, Elizabeth, I love these links. Glad to see some on goal-setting. I think that’s one thing writers need to do that we might not always think about enough. Setting appropriate, do-able, short- and long-term goals keeps us motivated. I think it also helps us focus.
So true about having a variety of different types of goals.
Have a great week, Margot!
Just want to say that I always appreciate the links you offer. Such great finds! Thank you.
Thanks so much for the kind words of encouragement! I appreciate them. :)
