Cool – there’s Clare’s article from the IWSG. Thanks!
Two science fiction links today. Double bonus.
I noticed that there was more SF material out there in my feed reader….thought you might enjoy. :)
Such fine links here, Elizabeth – thanks as ever. I’m especially happy to see the list of ‘Writing Life’ links. I like learning from the way other writers address some of the challenges that writers face. I always learn.
And there are a variety of challenges to face! Hope you have a great week, Margot.
I went through some of those yesterday. The Goodreads strategies are just good common sense.
They are. It’s surprising how many writers don’t have a presence there.
