Welcome to Promote Yourself Monday. We had another great week perhaps because of the Coronavirus Pandemic. So please, once again, ALL Go Dog Go Cafe community members are invited to post one link to one specific piece of their writing (600 words or less please!) they have published on their blog, Facebook page, or Instagram feed into the comments section below.
If you post a link, be sure to read some of the other great writing people have linked to.
Last week’s Round UP, my apologies to the community for not getting around to the posts as much last week. Like many here in the States, I have been fighting to understand what my new normal looks along with processing the impact of the changes on life. Will get back to work now…
