    Use mistakes to achieve success? Must read that one.

    1. Elizabeth Spann CraigOctober 26, 2014

      Alex–It’s an interesting take!

  2. L. Diane WolfeOctober 26, 2014

    That’s a great selection of links.

    1. Elizabeth Spann CraigOctober 26, 2014

      Thanks, Diane!

  3. Margot KinbergOctober 26, 2014

    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…

    1. Elizabeth Spann CraigOctober 26, 2014

      Margot–Exactly…the key is getting quality and quantity to happen simultaneously. :)

  4. NancyOctober 30, 2014

    Great links! Thank you so much!
