Are You The Next John Grisham?
If you think so, or even if you just want to give it a go, check out NaNoWriMo this November. I’m participating (user name is lawmummy, feel free to add me) – and yes, my non-tax writing still tends to be heavy on the legal side (it’s a curse). If you’re looking for inspiration, pay…
