Utah Writers and their News. Wednesday, July 29, 2015. Trello for Writers: Using Templates in a Project. In the previous tutorial, we created a Trello board to hold our templates.

Here are the ways I’ve applied some of her advice and also figured out my own:. This relates to ...

Utah Children's Writers: March 2015

http://utahchildrenswriters.blogspot.com/2015_03_01_archive.html

Utah Writers and their News. Tuesday, March 31, 2015. Many of us have trouble setting priorities for our writing sessions. Maybe we're working on different projects in various stages. We might be querying one story, revising another, and writing and researching a third. Or maybe we're focused on a single project but have a number of things to do.

http://utahchildrenswriters.blogspot.com/2015_06_01_archive.html

Utah Writers and their News. Wednesday, June 10, 2015. Lately, I've been using Trello a lot at work to track tasks and projects.
