A few interesting stories I came across this week:

On the Create Write Now site, writer Joy Held encourages writer wellness and challenges with five things for your writing.

At IngramSpark, writer Scott La Counte explains how to promote a book on social media.

Derek Hanes at Just Publishing Advice discusses using a free starter series to sell more books.

BBC News has a life-imitates-myth story where an eight-year-old girl pulls a 1,500-year-old sword from a lake in Sweden.

Continuing with the “children leading us” theme, Good News Network has what we hope will be good news indeed: 14-year-old girl wins $25k for a scientific breakthrough that could lead to a Covid-19 cure.
