I’m continually blown away by the diverse and smart posts in the blogosphere. You’ve got such an eye for them, Gene—one of many reasons I’m honored by the link-shares. 🙂 Thanks! Hope you’re having a brilliant weekend. Off to check out links I’ve missed… *raises coffee cup*

Gene Lempp has a wonderful blog and most weekends, he posts links to treasures he’s found around the web to help writers write, get published and learn more about the writing and publishing world. Yesterday’s post contains several interesting reads. Check it out.
Awesome to have another round of Blog Treasures. Thank you for gathering these great links, Gene.
