Here's a hint on writing from best selling author, Betty Smith. She published A Tree Grows in Brooklyn in 1945, a novel about a young girl growing up in Brooklyn at the turn of the 20th century.

Hello, WA friends! I'm back after a short break. The first six months at WA were a little overwhelming, and I needed time to regroup. Webbuilding is only one of my hats and I had this compelling desire to get a book out of my head!
