The Journal: Nothing Much

In today’s Journal

* Nothing much
* Of Interest
* The Numbers

Nothing much to talk about today. I’m still here (waving) and hope to be back to “normal” soon. In the meantime, I wanted you to have the “Of Interest” items below in case you missed them.

During this break, if you have any questions about writing or storytelling that you think I can help with, don’t hesitate to ask.

Talk with you again when I can.

Of Interest

See “What Is Writer’s Burnout?” at https://writershelpingwriters.net/2020/08/what-is-writers-burnout/. Thanks to the Passive Guy.

See “Scary Scam” at https://www.deanwesleysmith.com/scary-scam/.

See “The Writer’s Online Toolkit” (from Maryville University Online) at https://online.maryville.edu/blog/the-writers-online-toolkit/. I was impressed enough to add this to a few categories on my Writers’ Resources page on my website.

See “A Guide To Crime Scene Investigation” at https://leelofland.com/evelyn-ev-e-dense-a-guide-to-crime-scene-investigation/. Presented in a silly way, but good info.
