About This Writing Stuff...

Presenting a slightly abridged version of About This Writing Stuff.  Life has been hectic over the past week and will continue to be so for a few weeks more (see my other rambling post about this here ). 

For now, some discussions about the future of publishing, agents, and even writers from Ewan Morrison, JA Konrath, and Penny C. Sansevieri.  Lisa Tucker ponders whether the digital revolution will save the novella and short story.  The sagacious Jane Friedman offers more advice on preparing to use social media as a promotional tool, and author Aaron Rosenberg is soon to release his latest novel, No Small Bills, about...well...a duck.  Enjoy!
