Thanks for including Anne R. Allen’s article at the IWSG this past week!
A great post at the IWSG!
Thanks, as always, for the great links, Elizabeth. Lots of great conference links this time! I really ought to do more of that sort of networking. And, of course, it’s almost time for NaNoWriMo. I have to admit, I don’t usually do that myself, but that’s more because of how my life is scheduled than because I don’t think it’s a great idea.
It’s that conference time of year, for sure!
I never do NaNo, but I get lots of inspiration and motivation from those who do. :)
