The top writing links from last week are on Twitterific: Click To Tweet
Thanks, as always, for these links, Elizabeth. Nice to see the ones on the writer’s life / taking care of oneself as a writer. I think we sometimes forget to do that. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
The same to you, Margot!
Happy Thanksgiving! I actually have a post for tomorrow, but I’ll be taking off the second half of the week.
Hope you get a chance to rest! I know it’s been a crazy year for you.
