"Horray for a lit that pays writers!
Most little lits don't pay, not because the refuse to, but because they simply don't have the resources. Many "pay what/when they can," which isn't often and isn't much,…"

"The Huffington Post isn't a little literary, strugging to keep the lights on. Authors' work has value. it's offensive to suggest we should be happy with the crumbs of "exposure" while others get rich off the fruits of our…"

"Greetings Robert. The line, "Folks on [Mom's] side of the family don't always stay dead," is steller. Lead with it.

Old Habits Die Hard
This is my first post here on SheWrites and my first NaNoWriMo post. Yesterday I wrote 15 words. Goal was 1500.The world of the other way I make a living chose to be demanding and whining as a two-year-old yesterday, and I didn't start on the novel until 9pm, then I managed to forget that the point of this thing was to crank out words, not my usual find just the right ones before allowing them on the page.So deep breath, remember to "just do it" and I owe myself 3000 words today.See More
