Thanks, as ever, for these links, Elizabeth. So many good ones, too, on the writing life. I always learn a lot from what other writers do. It’s also great t to see that mystery bundle for charity. What a terrific idea! I hope it does really well.
I hope so, too…such a good cause. And it did well last year, I know.
I love to help animals. Thank you for the link.
It’s a great cause…thanks!
