Last year around this time, I read a blog post about how to help homeless people. It gave a list of items they could use, like soap and combs and toothbrushes and washcloths, and suggested carrying Subway gift certificates and a list of agencies that help homeless people in your car. I wanted to put [...] As a writer, you probably own a computer. Maybe you have two, a laptop and a desktop. You may also have an e-reader, a Kindle or an iPad, and you most certainly have a cell phone, whether it be a smart one or a dumb one.
