Read more...11 Things Writers Need
Posted by Magdalen on May 9 2013, 9:02 am
I had major surgery recently. While I was recuperating—and still on painkillers—someone posted a link to a useful article on the 11 things every author’s website should have. Only the drugs had clearly addled my brain, because I clicked on the link thinking it would tell me 11 things every writer should have. When that [...]
