Glad to see so many links this week on what I’ll call self-care for writers, Elizabeth. Writing isn’t easy, mentally or physically (most people don’t think about what a strain it can be). It’s good to have ideas on taking care of oneself.
It is, for sure! Hope you have a great week, Margot!
Thanks for including Jane’s post on my blog :)
So many great links – I’m going to start on the one on being overwhelmed as that’s exactly where I am right now :)
I think a lot of us are! Hope the link helps!
Congrats on the book releases!
Thanks, Diane! I’ll post soon on the insanity of releasing two books at once, ha.
Thanks for including my link about Jaleigh Johnson.
