ISBW #153 – Plz read show notes first / Mary Robinette Kowal Interview

Writing Links
I don't post enough useful links here.
From Lifehacker: How To Set Up Your Writing as a Real Business: I thought I would post this here even though none of it would be news to me (hubris), but I was happily surprised that there was some advice on this list that was new to me. I wish they had gone into more details for the "filing system" — for filing what? Research? Business cards? Contracts?
