Last fall I took an education course on instructional design. Here’s something I learned: when curriculum professionals are hired to create a course, perhaps to improve employee performance in a workplace, one of their first questions is, “Is this actually an instructional problem?” In other word...

For starters, the end of 2018 pretty much sucked, as I was sick for most of the holiday. With the time off though, I did manage to get some writing done. I'm still going at a snail's pace, of course. I am over 70,000 words though!

The first question is: what is a “living?”
The second question is: where is that living made? Surviving in New York, for example, is more costly than in, say… Arkansas.

Interview with Tana French
Dublin crime novelist Tana French has the kind of critical reviews that other writers would…well, die for. Her debut murder mystery,
In the Woods
, won rave reviews and multiple literary prizes upon its release in 2007. Since then, her books have tended to haunt the bestseller lists, on both sides of the pond, and for months at a time. British newspaper The Independent has dubbed French "The First Lady of Irish Crime," and The Washington Post says she is the most important crime novelist to emerge in the past ten years. ...more
