We’d prefer to keep out of the doctor’s office! Good list this week.
Alex–Me too! Thanks. :)
Fabulous links, as ever, Elizabeth – thanks. I love it that there are several about character development. It can be hard to balance that with a focus on the plot, but it’s important.
Margot–A lot of readers tend to come away from books talking more about the characters than the plot! You’re right…so important.
Thanks for including a guest post on my blog, Elizabeth!
Ryan–You’re welcome…hope you have a good week!
Thanks for posting the Booktrack article Elizabeth! :)

AD–Thanks for a great post. I’ve enjoyed seeing what you’ve been up to, marketing-wise!
