I’m not planning on switching, but I hope to pick up a few more short forms. Anyway, of course these books are very old and have names and sometime addresses in them. …
I’m a writer and I usually do all of my manuscripts on the computer. I type over 90 wpm so I’m fine as long as I’m in front of a computer, but I now have a 90 minute commute (1 way) to work and I’m finding that this is when my best brainstorming has been coming into…
