It’s Friday, I’m home with the kids, and there’s a thunderstorm. In other words, today rules. Here is some stuff to read. 1. Social media is such a big deal for new writers trying to gain a fanbase. It can really help make or break you. Here is a nice post about What Writers Should […]
“I always wanted to write a book, but…”
Writing is weird. It’s the only hobby you can have where you make absolutely no money from it but gain instant respect from people when they find out that you do it.

If you haven’t attended a writing conference before, you should really […]
