Tip on Writing for Money, Plus a Thanksgiving Prompt
Here's the hot tip: No. 5 from the Top 20 Tips From WD in 2009 series:
“I remind myself that my income is contingent on the pages I produce, and if

myself living in an abandoned truck. When the only thing standing between me
and that fate is the next paragraph, it comes out pretty quickly.”
--Hollis Gillespie (Trailer Trashed), as interviewed by Brian A. Klems in
the May/June 2009 issue of WD. (Click here to check it out.)
