  2. I know right! I was kind of surprised at how much I read. I think for this week, I'm going to organize it so it's easier to sort through.

    As far as the best of the best: anything by Jane Friedman and Writability.

    The April Platform Challenge posts are also really good if you want to work on your author platform and blog.
