The Top Writing Links From Last Week Are On Twitterific: Click To Tweet
Another good roundup of sites.
Hope you’re having a great weekend. Indoors of course. Too hot to go outside!
I walked the dog this morning at 6:30! I think we’re getting a break in a few days from the heat…maybe?
As always, Elizabeth, a great group of links, for which thanks. I always like catching up with the ‘Writing Life’ links. Sometimes writing feels solitary, and it’s nice to know that others have similar challenges and ask similar questions. It really is a community, and it’s good to tap into it.
It’s an important way to get information and refill the well, too! Hope you have a great week. :)
How do you get an ISBN? Only one way – Bowker.
Exactly! And Nielson in the UK.
Thanks for sharing. The link on how to make a fantasy a democracy sounds really interesting.
Hope you find it useful! Thanks for coming by. :)
