The top writing links from last week are on Twitterific: Click To Tweet
There’s Lynda’s awesome post for the IWSG last week!
Amazing how many are from Reedsy now. Ricardo grew that site so fast.
He did! He’s a dedicated guy, for sure.
Thanks, Elizabeth, for these links. I’m so glad you have a ‘Writers’ Conferences’ link. I think we can learn so much from what other authors do. And these get-togethers are a good way to connect and support other writers – even if one’s an introvert… ;-)
It’s tough being an introvert at a conference! But you’re right–it’s worth it for the experience.
Great links – checking out the romance ones first :)
There are some good ones there! Hope you have a good week. :)
