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…
Just watched a video from Philip Defranco on Youtube….
