Adopting a Jo March Attitude about Writing

January 29th, 2009 by Kat French 0

Over the years, I’ve learned I can write about nearly anything.  Tractors, vitamins, lingerie, hot tubs, psychology, money management, fashion, liquor, religion have all been subjects on which I’ve been paid to write, and I’ve tried to attack them all with the same interest.  A friend of mine once asked me how I could bring [...]
