Um. I’m really the last person to ask about how to save money. Now, if y’all wanted tips on how to waste money, I’m your gal. Plus, this is supposed to be a blog about writing.

Anyway, here goes.

1. Write in the dark.

Your computer screen should give you enough light anyway, right? Turn off the lights and conserve power! Oh, wait, some of you write longhand. Well, you probably don’t have electricity anyway, so you’re fine.

2. Query only by email.

Why waste trees and spend all that money on stamps? Do you really even want an agent who doesn’t know how to use email?

3. Drink less beer.

Buy a keg instead.

Yeah, I know. There’s a reason I lost the election for Highschool Treasurer.
