The Top Writing Links From Last Week Are On Twitterific: Click To Tweet
Thanks, as ever, for the great list of links, Elizabeth. As always, there’s a lot to like here. I find myself interested in the one about plotting in one’s sleep. Hmm…intriguing!
I don’t think I’m a good enough sleeper to pull that one off, but it sounded really cool!
Thanks for including Joy’s article at the IWSG site – I think that was the best one she’s ever written.
She did a fantastic job with it!
