Five Links Friday 12/21/18

December 21, 2018 By: Jason Bougger

The Best Articles I Read About Writing This WeekWe’re back for another episode of Five Links Friday! It’s been a nice busy week and I’ve made a TON of progress on my “mystery project.” More on that later, but until then, here are the best articles I read about writing this week.

1. Have you heard about the 85k90 Writing Challenge? I think it’s a much better idea than NaNoWriMo. Click on the link and let Ari Meghlen tell you more: Are you doing the 85K90 Writing Challenge?

2. Here’s a great list of Talent And Skills to help with your character-building from One Stop For Writers.

3. For those of us who are not very good at marketing, here are 5 No Good Reasons Authors Resist Marketing by Belinda Griffin at Bad Redhead Media.

4. Derek Haines asks Does Twitter Spam Sell Kindle Ebooks? I would say ‘no’ but click on over to Just Publishing Advice for another take on it.

5. And let’s close out this week with Three Fabulous Festive Reads from Carol Thomas.

That’s it for the week. Thanks for visiting, and I’ll be back soon with some writing advice, 2019 goals, and an update on that mystery project I keep talking about.
