Learning to get my writing in wherever I am and at whatever time I can

Nov 2, 2011

From earlier this morning: Point in case, I’m at the gym and using the iPad and a program called Day One to get some words on the page today.

Last night, long time friend and writer, Brian Howe and I trekked through rush...
