48 Celebrity Book Authors

//

Let’s take a fun, but kind of related diversion.

Valentine’s Day Gifts for Writers

A Review for the Technically Challenged: My Droid Eris

//

I’m not a technical writer or reviewer and no one is paying me to write this post. As I’m technically challenged,  I’m probably not going to use the right terminology and I can’t even really get really the nuts and bolts of how this thing works. Still, I want to tell you about my [...]
