One of the sessions I attended was presented by Constance Hall (I will link to her information in a moment). The session was titled "Vex, Hex, Smash, Smooch: How to [...]

How many words does a wordchuck chuck, if a wordchuck doesn’t chuck words?

Dang Holidays. They suck the productivity right out of me. I'm so busy flitting around to stores to find the right gifts for friends and fam, that I can't keep my butt in the chair. And that's the key to writing, right? Butt in Chair. Hands on Keyboard. Click. Click. Click. Hmmm. I think I [...]
