Rush, Stress, and Busyness – Blogs last month you might have missed
NaNoWriMo 2012 has ended. (btw, MAJOR congratulations to those who stayed the course and wrote 50,000 words. I’m so impressed.)
Today’s December 1st. The holiday season is upon us and closing in like a speeding bullet.
If you’re like me, you’re skimming and skipping on social media sites and blogs.
Here are some blogs with writerly news or information I thought you’d want to know about:
