Dear @HRBlock online tax prep: Please fix your bug that won't let me submit my taxes online!!! I've opened a ticket and emailed, but haven't heard anything, and the tax deadline looms...

"The word 'plot' comes freighted with associations for readers and writers. At its simplest, it’s what happens. Not just what happens, though, but why it happens."

~ Great blog post by @Susanne_Dunlap on @JaneFriedman's site about #writing and time.

When writing memoir, how do you know what timespan is going to work best? Where should it open & end? It might help to know how historical novelists figure this out, says @Susanne_Dunlap. https://t.co/ppR34RGGtW

My number-one craft tip for historical novelists: READ.

That’s right. Read great stuff. Read not-so-great stuff.

Read historical fiction. Read romance, mystery, thriller, literary.

But I maintain, one of the best ways to see how and why that is true is to read, read, read.

I just finished reading this lovely book by @colleenalles_author last night. So appealing. I loved it.
