Happy Holidays: Our Most Popular 2016 Posts For Writers

December 23, 2016 by ANGELA ACKERMAN

top-2016-blog-postsIt’s that time of year where Becca and I sneak off to the liquor cabinet for some adult beverages to drink some rich hot chocolate in front of a roaring fire so we can enjoy some family togetherness and reflect on all the wonders the universe has brought us this year.

We hope that you will all have a wonderful break too. Make time for the little things! Relax, play a few games, drink some nog, eat some bad things. Life should be celebrated.

We’ll be back in 2017, but in the meantime if you get a bit twitchy for some Writers Helping Writers goodness, we’ve put together some of our most popular posts this year.
