Renovating your writing workspace
Forget the conventional desk and chair. One scribe offers makeover ideas for writing stations. Plus, why every teacher is a writing teacher, literary style analysis, and more.

Social media vs. writing (again): The world comprises two kinds of people: those who think social media produces horrible writers (such as those who support WAC, I suspect), and those who think it’s nurturing the greatest generation of writers the world has ever known.
