2. For those of us writing Fantasy, here are 14 Popular Fantasy Tropes — And How to Make Them Feel New Again at Reedsy.com.

3. Here’s a nice article by Angela Ackerman at Writers Helping Writers with some insight on Why Characters Resist Change.

4. While we’re talking about characters, here is a post by Becca Puglisi on First Pages and Character Emotion at Writers in the Storm.

5. And finally, let’s close out this week with some tips on How To Focus On Writing Right Now by Rachel Thompson at BadReadhead Media.

That’s is for this week. Hope you have a great weekend, and if you happen to find yourself at the Nebraska Writers Guild Spring Conference this weekend, be sure to say hi!
