Debra Lee,

The article "How to make a living writing" by John Shore is a really good 
article. I agree with him, most articles and books on how to be a writer are 
very dry, boring and sleep inducing. His article/blog is easy to read and I 
felt, helpful...at least to me and other newbies...

Thanks for putting it on the list.

This blog probably isn't as helpful for you long-time (I'm not even implying 
old) professional writers and gardeners that compost in heels and shiny 
tiaras! Ah...some day...I can only dream...
