Another great list of stuff.
And my piece on critique partners is listed – thanks!
Alex–It was a great post…thanks!
Elizabeth – As always, a lovely set of links. I like the fact that there are several on character backstory development. I think that’s always a good thing to work on, as it can be tricky to create fully-rounded characters without ‘information overload.’
Margot–Tricky for sure! No one likes reading a lot of backstory, but it’s frequently character history that makes plots interesting.
Spending a Sunday afternoon reading through these links. Thanks so much!
Thanks for coming by, Kenda!
I will remember that question to ask when I sit down to write >:)
CA–Hope it helps!
That’s quite a list. I have the next two days of and will visit some of them. Thanks!
Every week I look forward to your Twitterific Writing Links. You never disappoint. Thank you so much for including my post. Again, I’m humbled to be listed among such amazing authors.
Thanks for all these great links, and for the mentions :)
I had lunch today with a writer friend who hadn’t heard of your blog. Of course I told her she MUST follow you!
Julie–Thanks for that, Julie! Hope you’re having a great week. :)
