Top writing links for the week at Twitterific: Click To Tweet
Some good ones to explore! Anne R. Allen’s post was great last week. It always is!
Alex–She always has fantastic info for writers, doesn’t she? Have a great week, Alex!
As always, Elizabeth, these are great links! Thank you. Lots this week about developing characters and their viewpoints. I think that’s one thing I’ve had to learn to do – go back and make my characters fuller.
Margot–You’re right…some good tips for doing that this week.
Oh my gosh – awesome list this week! I found two new things to do from Jodi Hedlund’s 8 Ways Writers Can Be More Reader-Friendly
Thank you!
