I recommend daily writing for anyone, not just writers. Here’s what I’ve found from my daily habit:. Writing persuasively — to convince others of your point of v...

A Muse Abroad: May 2014
http://amuseabroad.blogspot.com/2014_05_01_archive.html
Wednesday, May 21, 2014. I'd like to talk to you for a moment about fear.
