Writing Excuses Season Four Episode 20: Strategies for Getting Published

From http://www.writingexcuses.com/2010/05/23/writing-excuses-4-20-strategies-for-getting-published/

Key Points: Great writing and lots of it, first. Using social media to build an online following can help your career. Write, submit, write more, keep submitting.

[Brandon] This has been Writing Excuses. We had way too many tangents in this episode, so maybe you do have a few excuses. But go write anyway.
[Howard] On human skin.
[Brandon] Don't write on human skin.
[Howard] On human skin.
[Brandon] Like on Howard's.
[Howard] OK. No human skin, please.
