Great links. I liked Susan's advice on self-promoting. I'm finishing up an extra project at work and am hoping that I'll have more time to write my book, work on my blog, and read this month. Just have a little more yard work to do first.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the links. I try not to be obnoxious.
ReplyDeleteThat first one caught my eye! I do not want to be obnoxious!
ReplyDeleteHi Karen! All your links speak to me, so thank you for that. I think everyone's been asked to review something that underwhelmed. How do you say anything without being hurtful? Such a great need for advice in that situation.
ReplyDeleteLike many in the writing world, I have trouble pushing and marketing myself. Susan's words will be very helpful, I'm sure!
I just got back from a sister-weekend in No. Carolina. What beautiful colors and weather!
Blessings,
Ceil

Lee,
It's a good quick read. I don't think you're at risk of being obnoxious. :)
Ceil,
I'm glad they all resonate with you. Hope they're helpful. Hooray for sister's weekend.
Happy writing,
Karen
