These are great links, as ever, Elizabeth. I’m glad there are some on finding the balance as a writer, with all of the conflicting demands on our time and resources. It’s not easy to do that; and, yet, it’s so important for physical and mental health.
It definitely is important, but so tough to do! Hope you have a great week, Margot.
