If you’re like me, you’re probably surrounded by other writers. If not in real life, at least online.

Five Links Friday 1/11/19
Friday’s here! I was hoping to post a little more this week, but didn’t quite there. I did, however, make a ton of progress on upcoming my card game, so the week we certainly not a waste. But onto the writing…here are the best articles I read about writing this week. 1. Let’s start with […]
