Interesting Things From The Web

As a writer, things frequently come across from my desk from which I get a hearty laugh or I learn something important for my writer’s journey. Some are downright comical while some have a great message for each of us no matter where we are in our career. Here’s my most recent list of items from the web...I hope you enjoy!
