The top writing links from last week are on Twitterific: Click To Tweet
The title of the first article is really funny.
:D It is! And the post itself is funny, too. I liked his perspective since I’ve always wondered about flagging sales in the summer (that’s when I read a lot).
Thanks, as ever, for these links Elizabeth. You always find interesting ones! My eye is caught by the one that likens writing to meditating. Hmm…intriguing idea!
I think it definitely can be meditative, especially depending on the writing we’re doing. Hope you have a great week!
I most certainly want to hack some of Amazon’s categories.
It’s a helpful method! It’s how I end up in ‘cozy mysteries animals.’ :)
