Coffee Times Weekly Roundup Edition 4
Thursday‘s picks from here and elsewhere on Medium
Welcome to the fourth edition of our Thursday features at Coffee Times! How is the week going for you? Are you writing a novel? November is National Novel Writing Month — NaNoWriMo and I know quite a few fabulous writers who are crafting theirs.
November is also Thanksgiving month — are you reflecting on what you are grateful for? I am.
I know you’ll enjoy this week’s choice of posts I’ve picked for you to read. With the steady stream of submissions at Coffee Times, I find it quite challenging to select what to feature, as I have mentioned before. The good part is getting to read so much!
Do you have any suggestions or ideas for making this roundup more fun? I am listening! Let me know in the comments!
Let’s begin our reading journey with some posts from Coffee Times, followed by some from across Medium.
Enjoy the wide variety of topics!
