Links to End the Week

Technically these are also links to end the year, but I don’t feel like they’re quite that earth shattering, so I’ll be back tomorrow with a final post for 2011. In the meantime, I hope you’re all enjoying these last few days before 2012 rolls into town, and that the holiday season has treated you well.

Writers participating in my challenge for December, bravo to all of you for your progress. Even if you missed a few days here and there, it sounds as if many of you accomplished far more this month than you might have otherwise, which was just what I was hoping to inspire. Check back in January for additional pep talks to keep you going when your motivation feels a bit sluggish.

Without further ado, some links for your entertainment. Enjoy!
