While I'm Signed Off...


I'm sure I don't need to tell anyone where I took this photo! Can't wait to revisit this favourite part of Europe. And if you're still curious, the previous photo was of the beautiful Greek island of Santorini.

Here are a few links and markets to keep everyone busy for a while. I'm looking forward to taking a short break from all social media and the Internet and I've now signed off from all the forums I'm on, but I expect I'll be keen to get back to see what's happening online again! It's sometimes difficult to do without it once so much of our lives revolves around online activity and I really appreciate all the lovely friends I've made online - yes, that means you!

I came across this link to one of the best overviews of twitter I've read on the Indie Author News blog and it might interest anyone thinking of signing up to it.

I've had the link to this great Writing Forward blog for ages but haven't really spent enough time studying it - it seems to offer lots of useful writing advice.

Have a good summer and see you in a couple of weeks!

Wishing you a lovely holiday, Rosemary. Have a well-deserved break and enjoy every moment.

Thank you for all these interesting links. I'll enjoy investigating these. I'm also enjoying The Incomers very much, so many thanks for letting us know about this lovely novel.

I was wondering if the picture was Santorini, as it reminded me of the beautiful setting used in the film of Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants. I recall looking it up after seeing the film and thinking how much I would love to see Santorini.

I'm looking forward to hearing all about your cruise when you're back.

Have a wonderful time. x
