Editor's Desk - Liz Woods

Hi folks!

How do we get sources we can trust, from people we can trust?  I have no idea, but that's what gave birth to this idea called LW Writer Almanac.

Benjamin Franklin who faced the same problem.  He had a lot he wanted to say, but politics and an older brother who owned the only press he had access to being what they were in his time, gave birth to what we call Poor Richard's Almanac:  a little pamphlet chock full of advice, sayings, weather forecasts, and pretty much anything else he could think of.

The modern reader might look at its poor grammar, bad composition and crazy printing, and think wow... people bought THAT? Over 10,000 of them sure did almost every year for 25 years. Poor Richard The Almanak, as it was known back then, became an institution!

 I can't say that what I'll write here will live up to that legacy, but I like it, and to me, it's a great format for getting the  word out. After all, that's what matter's most.

Enjoy!

Blessings,

Liz W
