DISCLAIMER: This post is not for the faint of heart or thin-skinned. It contains free advice about how to be a professional writer, and it's very likely going to hurt some people and wound feelings. If you're reading this post and get all butt-hurt about it, then you're not ready to play Writer with the big people yet. Go home and cry to Mama (points if you get the reference!). Thank you to Skyla for inviting me to guest blog on her site of awesome.

Now, abandon hope, all ye who enter here. Fasten your seatbelts and keep your arms and legs inside the compartment, or they'll get hacked off with my lightsaber. I'm about to do some damage.

Still here? All right, then. You were warned.Read more

Comments are moderated. I have a strict policy of No Douchebaggery and/or Trolling. You're free to disagree with anything I say, but your comment may or may not see the light of day (depending on the content of your comment and my particular mood). Any blatant trolling is immediately deleted with the offender's ISP info added to a personal file called In Case of Trouble.

I go through comments as often as possible but receive a ton of spam, so please be patient if your non-douchebaggy comment hasn't gone through yet--if I don't know you, you're not on my auto-publish list so I have to check by hand. And if you're a troll with nothing better to do than try to pick a fight with me, for the love of god, at least learn how to fucking spell.
