Whew, it's been a busy week. I think for the first time I've felt like a "working" writer, meaning this week I felt like I was working a job. Not that I wasn't enjoying what I was doing--there was just a big to-do list to check off instead of just sitting in my office and writing stories.
Okay, so first before we get to the link roundup, I do want to let y'all know that I'm one of the authors who has been interviewed over at Writer Unboxed for Lydia Sharp's post: Orange Rinds and Apple Peels - Finding Comfort in Your Own Skin with regards to social networking. So I hope ya'll will check it out. :)
Now on to the links of the week...
