    Elizabeth – Such great links this week on ‘how to manage it all.’ I really am interested in how others ‘do it all.’

  2. Alex J. CavanaughApril 21, 2013

    When the hero is his own worst enemy? Hey, that’s my main character!

  3. Elizabeth Spann Craig/Riley AdamsApril 21, 2013

    Alex–And a great worst enemy he is!

    Margot–Me too. :) When I try to do it all, something definitely suffers in the process!

  4. Jemi FraserApril 22, 2013

    I’m trying (a little desperately) to become more of a plotter so I’m off to check out a couple of these links – thanks! Hope you have a great week ahead :)
