About This Writing Stuff...

This week, Ilana Myer examines the elements of a strong female character while K.T. Bradford challenges us to spend a year reading books by authors of another gender, ethnicity, or sexual preference.  Writer Beware and David Gaughran update us on the status of the two-year-old lawsuit against Author Solutions.  Warren Adler explains why he went indie, Mary-Theresa Hussey details the roles of a freelance editor, and James Scott Bell provides ten steps that lead to writing failure.

All that and a little more, including a tank armored in books (you don't see that every day)!  Enjoy!
