About This Writing Stuff...

The hot topic this week is--forget that--the inferno this week is Amazon and their war with Hachette.  Everyone from Stephen Colbert to Joe Konrath to Barry Eisler (and more) weigh in.   Michelle Mueller analyzes poetic prose while Jenny Hansen differentiates between editing and proofreading.  Kathryn Craft and Bob Greenberger remind us of the importance of keeping our word and meeting deadlines.

All that and a little more.  Enjoy!
