Writing Advice

How to Tell if Your Story is on Target - What is Your Book About in One Sentence by Kristen Lamb. Good post, though I totally disagree on Maleficent being awesome. :( The film had a ton of giant holes and the telling too straight - no real surprises. (Though Jolie was fantastic!)

Ack, out of time. See ya soon!
