About this Writing Stuff...

This week, Jami Gold asks what makes a story unrealistic and also shares author Candace Havens' rules for fast drafting. Kristine Kathryn Rusch makes a jumpstart down the old stone path while Lee Goldberg discusses a parting of ways with detective Adrian Monk on Konrath's blog.  Dean Wesley Smith chimes in on Lee's decision and media tie-in writing.  In fact, we have a trio of articles from Dean this week that also include an update from the world of POD and the new world of publishing. 

Friend and veteran author, Michael Jan Friedman is preparing to Fight the Gods at the upcoming Allentown Comic Con this weekend!
