Today, I’d like to talk about Blogging and Writing. More specifically, Blogging while Writing. Blogging instead of Writing. It’s becoming more and more necessary for you – a Creative… (Sidebar: I think this applies to any creative endeavor, but since this is focused on Writing, I’ll stick with that) – to have some kind of …
