Being a Better Writer: What Makes a Protagonist? · 10:09pm Mar 15th, 2017

All right. So, yesterday's incarnation of this post, to what is now great irony, started with a worried critique of Wordpress' freshly rolled out posting interface.

Being a Better Writer: Balancing a Returning Character · 10:49pm Nov 14th, 2016
