    Hi Elizabeth – you are an examplar with these … 2015 I shall ‘dive’ in to Twittering …

    Have a very happy Christmas build-up week and enjoy the seasonal fortnight with your family and friends … and thanks for all you’ve done for us over the year .. Hilary

    1. Elizabeth Spann CraigDecember 21, 2014

      Hilary–Thanks so much for coming by! Good luck with Twitter. It might seem like a steep learning curve at first, but once you’ve “got it,” you’ve got it. :)

  2. Alex J. CavanaughDecember 21, 2014

    You included my list of where to find book cover artists – thanks!!!

    1. Elizabeth Spann CraigDecember 22, 2014

      Alex–It was a great list!

  3. Margot KinbergDecember 21, 2014

    Elizabeth – Always enjoy my sessions of Writing 101. Thanks for sharing these links. I like it that there are several about ways to focus and ‘streamline’ things to make the most of one’s writing time.

  4. Sue ColettaDecember 21, 2014

    Great links as usual! I’ve added the Writer’s Knowledge Base badge to my site to show my support. I can’t wait to see what you have in store for 2015, Elizabeth. Happy Holidays to you and yours!

    1. Elizabeth Spann CraigDecember 22, 2014

      Sue–Thanks so much! And Happy Holidays to you, too!

  5. Jemi FraserDecember 21, 2014

    1. Elizabeth Spann CraigDecember 22, 2014

      Jemi–As it always is during the holidays!

  6. Clarissa DraperDecember 21, 2014

    Love your links, as always!

    1. Elizabeth Spann CraigDecember 22, 2014

      Clarissa–Thanks so much!

  7. Hazel LonguetDecember 21, 2014

    Elizabeth

    Thank you so much for including my article on Networking and Marketing for Introverts in the listing. It was a real labour of love for me as it’s a personal issue I’ve faced throughout my career and only really conquered when I stopped thinking of introversion as an affliction but instead realised it was an asset that I could use to my benefit.

    Thank you for including me and I wish you a very happy and prosperous Christmas and New Year.

    1. Elizabeth Spann CraigDecember 22, 2014

      Hazel–I like your approach to the issue….always so nice to turn things that we suspect are liabilities into assets!

      Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you!
