The Writers Workout, Christian Katz
This is a book I got from Helmsley last year, another tool I have decided I can use in my quest to do more writing this year. It is 366 tips, tasks and techniques from your writing career coach. As it is a nice round number I am going to use this weekend to catch…
Nearly new year…..
It’s that time of year again and it’s time to start thinking of goals that I want to achieve in 2015. I loath to use the term resolutions but in effect even though I am calling them goals it is the same thing. So here is the basic list (in no particular order) of what…
