#WW The Difference of Pronunciation and Writing
#WW Pronunciation and Writing Me Talk Pretty One Day by David Sedaris demanded my attention simply from the title.

#WW Finding Your Style as a Writer
#WW Finding Your Style as a Writer So, I just turned 24 yesterday. That means, I’m 113 in cat years (according to this calculator.)

(Plus, a good portion… Continue reading #WW Finding Your Style as a Writer
