The Debate Desk

The Debate Desk is an open forum for writers to debate some of the "hot issues" about being a writer.  Have an opinion about writing that you'd like to share?  If it's a controversial subject, we'd love to hear about it.  E-mail our managing editor at amy @ absolutewrite.com (remove spaces).  Disclaimer: Opinions expressed here are not endorsed by, nor necessarily shared by Absolute Write.
