I need to purge my email. I get way too much junk.
ReplyDeleteActive versus passive - I need that.
ReplyDeleteI can use a good email and mind purge! I'll take a look.
ReplyDeleteDiane,
ReplyDeleteI get a ton of junk as well. I've had one email account for almost 20 years, so that may be part of the problem. :)
Alex,
Oh yeah, I can always use help there too! :) It's a great breakdown.
Lee,
Me too! Time to do some housecleaning, right? :)
Happy writing,
Karen

Anita,
ReplyDeleteGlad you find them helpful! :) I do like to share good ones. You are very welcome.
Jess,
You are welcome! Perhaps we should hire an assistant we could all share to purge our emails. LOL
Happy writing,
Karen
I tend to keep my email clean, but I'd like to check out that article. Thank you for the links.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the helpful links. I've been purging my e-mail lately by unsubscribing to things I'm not interested in.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the links, Karen :-) I just checked out Edie Melson's link on social media--and then read a couple of other posts she's written. Thanks for introducing her, a great resource site...
ReplyDeleteMedeia,
ReplyDeleteI admire you for staying on top of it! :) It can pile up in a hurry. You are very welcome.
Natalie,
You are welcome. I've been doing the same, unsubscribing as I have time. :)
Kenda,
Glad you liked her post. I discovered her recently through a friend. Good stuff! :)

I'm checking these out now. The purging one and the social media feels like they're calling me. Thanks once again, Karen for always bringing these perfect links into my life.
ReplyDeleteHi Karen! I always enjoy your recommendations! I am using a writing book right now that I am finding so great! It's called "Making Manifest" by Dave Harrity. He wants to promote poetry, but you can use it for prose too. I am learning a lot from it.
ReplyDeleteHappy Tuesday!

Susan R.,
You are welcome! It was a good post, so of course I wanted to share it. :) Your place is one of my faves too!

Email - it just never ends, does it? But I guess it helps keep us out of trouble...or something like that! :)
Susan S.,
Oh yeah, me too! LOL Like that will help us, right? Hope you are staying warm! :)

Sounds like most of us need to purge our emails. Thanks for the links. I just finished writing a column for kids and recently rewrote one of my picture books.
ReplyDeleteJanet,
ReplyDeleteI think you are right. The junk mail piles up in a hurry, doesn't it? Sounds like you had a productive week!
Blessings,
Karen
