Video Sunday: Minus Shoes
It was a slow week for videos (read: I didn’t have time to look for videos this week) so what I’m offering today is going to be a little more random than usual.

Thanks to Drawn for the link.

Full credit to Sara O’Leary for finding this one. This is advice from YA author Susan Juby (Alice, I Think, Miss Smithers, Alice MacLeod: Realist at Last, and Another Kind of Cowboy). If you are an author with any screen presence whatsoever, take a page out of Juby’s book here. This is a great idea for a regular advice v-blog.
