Hi Karen - hoping to get lots done ... with the long daylight hours (bliss) and warmer weather ... the information out there is great - and it's good to be a part of a great group of bloggers ... cheers Hilary
ReplyDeleteThanks for the links, Karen. I actually started writing a bit of fiction for myself. Am enjoying it, but not pressuring myself. Hope you're having a good start to the summer.
ReplyDeleteThank you so very much for including my post on ISBNs. Most writers don't understand them.
ReplyDeleteHilary,
ReplyDeleteWarmer days and longer daylight are a great perk, aren't they? :) I agree, we do have a great group of blogging friends!
