Thanks for including Lee's IWSG post about fair use.
Nice post from Lee. :)
Thanks, Elizabeth, for these links. I always learn a lot, and there's a lot to think about. This time, I noticed the article about writing for children. I've never written children's fiction before, but I wonder if doing that helps a writer grow, and improves the writer's other fiction. It's an interesting direction for one's writing, I think.
I keep thinking about it! It would be a fun change.
