Friday Write-Day: Emotional Movement in Revising
I promise I did not forget about my Friday post. I did forget the image, but whatevs. You know what this is by now, right?
A friend spontaneously invited me to see Aesop Rock last night in Baltimore, so obviously I had to go. Continue reading “Friday Write-Day: Emotional Movement in Revising”

Marketing Your Novel: The Marketing Strategy!
