I hope your weekend was a good one. It's Monday Mentionables time. Links for #writers & #readers.
I was going over the Writer's Digest site this weekend and found some articles that I think many beginning #writers might find interesting.
First up, we have 4 Approaches for the First Chapter of Your Novel.
I know some days might be harder than others to get going and or you're not sure how to start that first chapter.

This next article is similar to the first, but it deals with the opening of your story. You have to have a great opening for that first chapter.

And lastly, the headline of this article made me curious. Why? Because who really wants to destroy their book idea/concept/manuscript, etc.

Now, for the #readers.
