About This Writing Stuff...

Some of this week's highlights: Keith Cronin offers advice on how to grab the reader's attention immediately while Leigh Anne Jasheway tells us how to write better using humor.  Brian A. Klems provides a brief guide to finding writing grants.  Jael McHenry explains how book bloggers are like agents, and Susan Guyett reports on the banning of Kurt Vonnegut's Slaughterhouse Five (thanks to Ann Stolinsky for bringing this to my attention).
