None writers don’t care about craft or clarity. I’ll bet everyone on this comment page looked over what they wrote and made changes before posting.

Luckily a hilarious activist in my pretty small tourism-based town just started a prose, poetry, and plainsong group that takes place in a little sandwich shop. Perfect for feeling cozy, safe, and familiar with all of my friends, new and old, so I’m finally producing again.

I’d be interested to know what your take is on writer/author business cards. Have you discussed them before (someplace I haven’t found)?
There’s a lot of guff out there on the www but some of it seems – er, a little less than business-like. Unlike you 🙂

It’s so hard to work at a job that you know isn’t your passion, when your true passion is just beyond your reach. (Or you feel like it is.) It helps to read you blogs, Kristen, and know that I’m not alone.
