Ten Minute Writing School

The first thing you’ll most likely notice about the Ten Minute Writing Schools, is that they aren’t actually ten minutes long. I just like the title, which I unashamedly stole from Robert Rodriguez. They’re just me talking into a microphone, rambling about my thoughts on certain subjects.
