Thanks for including Janice Hardy’s article at the IWSG!
A great post from Janice, as always!
These are such great links, Elizabeth, as always. Thanks for sharing them. And I love the one about finding inspiration in Disneyland. Just goes to show we writers can find inspiration just about anywhere…
I remember going to Disney World years ago and seeing characters everywhere (and not the ones in costumes!) :)
