So much for my Weekly Useful Writer Stuff being weekly.  LOL.  But, I knew it would happen. 

Before I get into my loooong list of articles, I want to give a plug to Authors X Promotion.  If you have a mailing list and are looking for new subscribers, they have a MEGA promo going on for the month of May.  It’s multi-genre and they’ve partnered with Book Hub.  This will be HUGE.  I’ve had great success with them before, so I really do recommend them.  Sign up today before it’s too late. 

Now, on with my list:
