Character Development by Annmarie Miles
I’m kinda cheating this month. I won’t be sharing much advice, although I hope it may give you some food for thought… 🙂 I suppose what I’m doing, is thinking out loud about a little writing conundrum I’m pondering; hoping you might chip in with your thoughts.
Your Characters: Your Babies by Catharine Bramkamp

Giving and Receiving Verbal Feedback on Digital Writing! by Lisa Desberg
This year, I challenged myself and my students to “go digital” in terms of writing submission, feedback and reflection. Every one of my 98 students created a digital writing portfolio folder in their Google Apps for Education (GAFE) account; they then shared the folder with me and provided me editing rights.
A Day In The Life Of A Unpublished Author by Deanna Jackson
