Q –
Hello Angela,
I can write anything (fiction, non-fiction, business reports, resumes…) but I really am in this business to earn a living. I like writing but I really like making dough.

The Art and Craft of Writing and Editing
Writing is a constant dialogue between author and reader.
The craft of writing involves an interchange of emotions between an author and a reader. An author creates a story line, conflict, and characters, gives his characters words to speak, and then hands off these materials to a reader.
