The top writing links from last week are on Twitterific: Click To Tweet
Twenty percent off is really generous!
I thought so, too. :) I don’t have a connection to the business, but when I was offered a code, I took a look. Cute stuff!
Thanks, as always, for the links, Elizabeth. Interesting that you’ve got one that discusses our identities as writers. Isn’t it funny how often we’re reluctant to talk about that part of our lives? I wonder if more confidence in telling people we write would give us more confidence in our actual writing?
I think it definitely could! It took me a long time to “own it. :)
I read the one about losing friends on Facebook. Most is common sense although I guess it’s not so common.
I think it’s tough, too, when we’re invested so much in one particular person (for whatever role…critiques, edits, covers, etc.) Big adjustment when that person is no longer available (whether it’s an amazing trip like the one in the post, or whether they decide to change jobs and no longer design/edit, etc.)
I’m really looking forward to your Twitter Link lists. They are so helpful and I enjoy reading all those different information. Thanks a lot!
Thanks so much Nina! Hope they help. :)
