Use mistakes to achieve success? Must read that one.
Alex–It’s an interesting take!
That’s a great selection of links.
Thanks, Diane!
Elizabeth – Thanks, as ever, for these great links. I like that several of them take a look at writers’ production and pace. ‘Fast,’ doesn’t necessarily mean ‘good,’ and quantity isn’t always better than quality…
Margot–Exactly…the key is getting quality and quantity to happen simultaneously. :)
Great links! Thank you so much!
