Tuesday's thoughts - Handy hyperlinks

I've started adding hyperlinks in the text to enable you to find further information.

Yesterday, I reviewed my research material and gathered the interview material ready for writing my article 'Does owning a dog make you happy?'.

I received a copy of a second-hand book 'Get your articles published' for £3. It's in good condition and an excellent book available from Amazon.

Last night, I went along to my writers' group. It was a manuscript evening and quite a few members read out their manuscripts, including me. I read out 'Newfs in Action' and received mainly good comments from members.

Today, I've been finishing writing and editing 'Does owning a dog make you happy?'. I've been sent some images by my interviewees. I've sent off all the material to the editor of 'Dogs Today' magazine.

This evening, I've got my online CityLit class 'Writing for Magazines'. Tonight is week four of six and I'm getting a lot out of it.

I hope you find the hyperlinks handy.
