Posted on September 29, 2011 by Nancy Jane Moore

What do you Write?

Posted on September 28, 2011 by Shannon Donnelly

“Only” Fiction, by Deborah J. Ross

Posted on September 27, 2011 by Deborah J. Ross

Reading and Writing

Posted on September 22, 2011 by Nancy Jane Moore

What Do You Know?

Posted on September 21, 2011 by Shannon Donnelly

Writing myths. We’ve all heard them. Lately I’ve heard a bunch more and they always leave me laughing and cringing. A friend used to say, “It’s not what you don’t know that’ll get you, it’s what you know that ain’t true.” There’s a lot that folks know which just ain’t true.
