As always, Elizabeth, thanks for these links. I like it that there are a few on getting the ‘writing mojo’ back. It can be hard enough to write; it’s even harder when you’re struggling with the ‘blahs.’ It’s nice to have some good ideas for breaking that cycle.
The good thing is that there are many different things to try! Sometimes it takes a little experimenting to see what works. :)
I’ve seen that article about Canadian book reading habits listed several places this week.
It was interesting, wasn’t it? I was surprised that they were later to pick up smartphone reading.
