The Top Writing Links From Last Week Are On Twitterific: Click To Tweet
Thanks for including the IWSG’s article last week!
Another great IWSG post!
As always, Elizabeth, these are great links – thank you. I’m especially interested in the one about saying ‘goodbye’ to a writing project. I think a lot of us have those stories that we may feel a link to, but that aren’t really ever going to become full-fledged stories…
So true. And it can be hard to tell when it’s time to let it go (or turn it into a finished, publishable work!) Hope you have a happy week, Margot!
A great selection this week. And thank you for helping me with translations.
Thanks! And I was happy to help out. :)
