About This Writing Stuff...

This week, we get advice on everything from selling ebooks (Konrath) to work ethic (Greenberger) and from multi-tasking (Bell) to staying afloat for the long haul (Rusch).  Jodie Renner describes the ideal thriller hero while Jody Hedlund discusses the importance of the opening hook.   Jami Gold covers covers and decisions to be made when self-publishing.  Donald Maass and Veronica Sicoe talk character origination from very different angles...and someone has a book premiere this week!!
