The Top Writing Links From Last Week Are On Twitterific: Click To Tweet
As ever, a great selection of links here, Elizabeth. Glad there are a few on writer interaction. The writing life is not a competition, and I think we sometimes forget how important the community of writers is.
A community can make a huge difference! I’ve learned so much and gotten so much support from my online friends. :)
Simple list this week – easy to explore!
It’s a bit shorter this week! I’m expecting a longer one next Sunday. :)
It was exciting to see my contributor post to The Write Conversation, 6 Steps to Break into Newspaper Writing, listed as the first link here, Elizabeth! That was super-thrilling! Newspaper writing is an opportunity for new and experienced writers that I feel is an untapped market and one that I encourage writers to check out! Thanks again! What a treat!
Thanks so much to you for being a resource for writers, Julie! And you’re right…newspapers are such a great way to gain experience and bylines (and income!)
