Oh, so many good links on the writing life this time, Elizabeth! I like it. Those are good reminders that we’re people, too, who need to take care of ourselves, if I can put it that way.
We are, although sometimes I think we forget that!
I saw that one on the 61 writing conferences. There are so many now.
Tons! The nice thing is that there may be more in a range of ticket prices, too.
I love Angela’s and Becca’s work…I have several of their Thesaurii. I don’t know how you find the time to collect all these every week! (And thanks for including a post of mine as well!).
It was a great post, Kathy! And I agree with you on the excellent thesauri that Angela and Becca have published.
This is an impressive list. Thank you for including me
