Write about what you know… good advice, or a recipe for tedium?  Peter considers whether this ancient dictum is still valid today.  Write Report, Donna reports that Joseph Heller’s daughter is mad… about the crazy levels of advances paid to today’s non-writers such as Ms. Palin and Joe-the-Plummer.  And the Twilight movie… it’s not even out yet, and we’re already suffering from hype-fatigue.  In Eve’s Salmagundi Club, she browses Editorial Anonymous, a blog apparently written by a nameless children’s book editor.  And Peter throws down a challenge to young whippersnapper Nathan Bransford.
