For Writers - Shark Week!

In observance of Shark Week, this week's tip discusses how writers are like sharks.

Many people believe that sharks have to keep swimming all the time or they will die. As a result, there's an analogy floating around out there that writers are like sharks because writing is swimming... we must keep swimming or we will die.

But here's the thing; while it's ...

SMALL TOWN SINNERS winner & More Links!

Thanks to everyone who shared their struggles in the comments. I don't know about anyone else, but for me it helps to know I'm not the only one who gets her boat rocked from time to time. SMALL TOWN SINNERS is especially for us! But, alas, only one winner, so here we go...
