A solid list this week. Thanks for including the IWSG article.
Thanks for coming by, Alex! And a nice piece for the IWSG. :)
A book might be over-promoted when that’s all the author talks about.
I think we’ve all seen that happen! Painful.
As always, these are great links, Elizabeth – thanks. Funny there’d be one about avoiding the mid-book slump. I’m just about at that point in my WIP, and it’s good to be reminded that it needs to stay just as interesting as the beginning – without being contrived. What timing!
Thanks so much for including my “5 Tips for Using Voice in Dialogue” presentation! So much great advice here.
Thanks for being a resource for writers, Vincent!
