This is advising about getting motivated to sell your writing, no one is going to come to you to ask for it so as a writer you need to be proactive. I don’t have a store of writing to pull on to start doing this, but I am starting the #AStoryAMonth challenge this month so…
When I got in from work tonight I watched the Microsoft live broadcast for the review of the new console. Xbox One, so named as they are promoting it as the centerpiece of any home media system, the one device that will do everything. I have to admit I don’t usually flock to be the…
