fiction writer.And you may find the new «skimmable» prose style can help your
fiction as well.

fiction stories and books, science article, magazine articles and
blog posts by the millions.

My
blog began and still is — a slightly demented mother / parenting
blog — but I write young adult

blog about writing

fiction and have complained about the dearth of science

blog tours work for
fiction writers who may
not have material for the big publications but have something interesting to write about.
