I was lucky enough to get a pass for the 2nd annual PAX Unplugged. It’s a 3-day convention devoted to… Read More Table Tales: Lots and Lots of Tables
I was going to start this post with something like “people have asked me, ‘Tammy, how do you approach writing?’” But let’s be honest – no one has asked. No one at all.
