A new year, a new blog

Today I'm launching a new blog, The Smoking Pen.

In the past few years, several beginning or would-be writers have contacted me, wanting advice, editing help, or even the names and contact details of the editors I work with (an especially cheeky request, that last one). I don't have the time to help these people, so I'm going to post some information of use to writers on The Smoking Pen, and invite those who want individual assistance (for which they'll have to pay) to contact me.
