What are you trying to figure out right now?
In the (free) Just Keep Writing community, this week I asked: What’s something you’re trying to figure out about writing, editing, or publishing right now? Tell me what’s been on your mind, whether it’s a big question or one little thing you keep getting stuck on! This is an interesting sponsorship, right?

And, as always, it costs you nothing to click but I do make a small commission (around $1 per click) that goes toward paying for this newsletter! |

Turns out, I've got a pile of those clips sitting around, and honestly, most of the advice hasn't aged a day. Would I add some information or say it a bit different? Maybe. But these are still so solid, I decided to resurrect them and...

But I was fortunate to have gotten tickets to the Power to the People festival organized by Tom Morello in Columbia, MD, and go with my...
