Some good links! Figuring out your book’s ending – that’s usually the first thing I figure out.
Alex–I’m the opposite…I usually don’t know the ending until the end of the book!
Elizabeth – As always, there’s so much here that I can use! I like it there are a few on the query letter/process. It’s nice to have support going through that process, as it can be so stressful and hard on the self-esteem.
Margot–I think querying was my most-unfavorite part of the whole trad-pub process…
Hi Elizabeth, thanks as always for a terrific list! Happy Sunday! :)
Thanks, Kathy! Hope you have a great week!
Thanks Elizabeth – the ones on NaNo sound fun as I’m buried deep in my first draft by now :)
Elizabeth, thanks so much for these great links. I especially loved the post about braving the second draft. That can be a scary thing to open up, and those words were comforting :)
