    Originally posted on Behind the Willows: Happy Tribus Day! A day to celebrate cookies, tea and blogging! What? You’ve never heard of it? That’s OK. I’m sure it’s only because, thanks to CoachDaddy and Rarasaur, it came into existence earlier this week. And what a fantastic concept, because, well, cookies, tea and blogging!

    “14” by Peter Clines: Why Writers Should Read It

    Originally posted on Writing Is Hard Work: Peter Clines is a fantastic writer.  What makes him a fantastic writer is not necessarily his prose style or his ability to make conversations between characters seem real and natural (which he does).  However, he has an ability to take something in the real world and make it…
