Writer's Choice
May 19th, 2009 by Scott Howard
Welcome to the SoD Writer’s Choice page. This space is reserved for what we feel is our best (or favorite or infamous) writing work from each of our authors. Think of it like the “Employee Picks” at Blockbuster, except without the judgment from a 16 year-old when you rent Bio-Dome for the 7th time instead of the recommended film that won 4 awards at a Portuguese Film Festival.
