Elizabeth – This is such a treasure trove! Thanks, as always, and thanks for including one of my posts *blush*.
I don´t know if anyone is able to get through ALL your links, but as usual I found a few gems that were just what *I* needed – and I am sure there is something for any budding or experienced writer here.
What, no Sharktopus? Think how many lives could be saved if they knew to avoid such bad writing!
Just kidding.
Great list of tips this week, Elizabeth.
I have created little folders on my firefox bar for different blog posts: query, synopsis, promoting, editing, nanowrimo, blogger, weekly posts. I will go through your list today and file.
CD
I can always come here for a great list!!
Thanks so much, y’all! And I’m so glad you’ve found some links that will help out.
Alex–maybe Sharktopus will make the list next week! I’m just so grateful you saved me from the fate of watching it. :)
