    December 2012
    I felt the same way after I used a copywriter for my first book. They are definitely worth the money. I also now subscribe to a great little free newsletter called the Grammar Girl that offers up some great tips.

    So far this egg timer method does seem to work. I set my hours from 6pm to 10pm weekdays to target fir my 1st week, since i work full time. Then i rotate 20 and then 60ins or on Tuesdays and Thursday's I start 60 to 20 mins. It's amazing how much...
