About This Writing Stuff...

After two weeks of spring cleaning and yard work, it's nice to be posting another edition of About This Writing Stuff...   Here and now, Authors Guild president Scott Turow comes under fire (again) for his comments regarding Amazon's procurement of Goodreads and his article in the NY Times.  It's all here in one place, folks.   Meanwhile, Rob Hart wants to eliminate cliches from your writing and Jami Gold talks character flaws.  SF writer Veronica Sicoe faces the future, good and bad.  Sophie Masson looks for a good title while fellow ReDeus author Lorraine Anderson chats up her story in the upcoming ReDeus: Beyond Borders !
