My Week in Review and Writing Links

Posted on Posted in AmWriting, My Week in Review and Writing Links, short fiction, Story Empire, Work In Progress Tagged with ,

Hello everyone. Happy Friday! Last week, we had a lovely relaxing time away, and apart from the first weekend, we got lucky on the weather. Below is a picture I took while day-visiting Dartmouth.

I’ve had a tired but productive week and have finished a 5000 word short story. I also have the beginnings of a novel, but that will be a slow work project, not a 15-day one this time, lol. Slow and steady is my motto at the moment. My plan is to do a bit on the novel while also writing flash fiction and short stories. The Switch is on hold but not forgotten. That’s another one of my many pots simmering on the back burner. This week’s quote seemed perfect for me, as I am learning new writing techniques. We’re never too old to learn! And, joy of joy, I have tons of ideas percolating away. It’s just getting the time to write them all down! đŸ™‚Â 

That’s it from me for now. Here are this week’s writing links:
