Tis the season to be… thinking about writer gifts. Every week since the start of December there has been a neat roundup of gifts you can give yourself… or tell your family to get you.
This week Lisa Tener has a nifty gift list and Jami Gold has a link to the great advent giveaway by Angela Ackerman and Becca Puglisi as well as a great bunch of discounted resources for you to snap up ready for 2020.
Next week will be my last blog post for the year. It’s the end of the school year… Summer… and Christmas madness. I’ll be doing my Christmas roundup for my newsletter and then it’s feet up for a while.
