Bulletin Board Blab 8.17.05

Other discussions going on…

How do you find a mentor? Or, do you need one? I think asking a handful of experienced writers their feedback might be more beneficial than just one.
What to do with crabby sources? Feel sorry for them that they’re such crabby people. Nothing more.
AP or Chicago manual? Search me.
