Welcome to Lit of J

http://www.slideshare.net/wjbriggs/25-writing-tips-from-25-great-writers?ref=http://episodicmag.blogspot.com/


Which piece of advice in the slide show above means the most to you? Why?

Tell me something I ought to know about you that will help me help you as a writer -- your aspirations, your fears and doubts,  etc.

Your comments should be as clear and complete as you can make them in a  blog post. Remember this is my introduction to your writing. Impress me. Or at least don't bore me. (Lesson #1: Boring readers is among the worst things you can do to them. What's the worst? Probably to unintentionally confuse them.)

Please respond no later than  Sunday at 4 p.m.
