Apps This Writer Uses
Over on MarkWritesThis.com, a look at the small constellation of apps making me a more efficient fiction writer.

Are Titles Hurdles?
I saw something the other day about titles being hurdles to easy blogging. The theory goes that stopping to consider a title is friction; eliminating titles all together reduces friction. But couldn’t you also eliminate the friction by writing the post first, and then adding a title later?
