I always wonder if you can piecemeal PPWC. There’s always notes about what to do if you’re missing a meal (and if you’re at the conference for the whole weekend, why would you? It’s included in the price and the
PPWC Session Wrap-up, Part 1
Good morning, Squiders. I’m back from PPWC, and now that I’ve gotten some sleep, I am vaguely functional again. I’ve gone to PPWC before, and I’ve done conference write-ups after the fact for all of them, so I thought I’d
Changing Support Needs
I started writing seriously in 2006, Squiders. I mean, I’d had periods before that–I’d been writing on and off since I was 8, including a fairly prolific time in high school (where I admittedly started a lot of novels I

A Break from the Madness

2016 Books in Review
