To my fellow scribblers, please see what you can contribute to the effort here. My way of doing things is not the only way and this blog will certainly benefit by a variety of views.
It will be trying for some, but please leave your politics at the door. You won't change anyone's mind by spleen venting or snide asides, however such would overshadow whatever useful you might contribute.
If you can, keep it short.
Writing tip of the day: Keep manuscripts in the mail; If the editor can't see it, he or she can't buy it.
