Technical Writing & the Lightbox

Sarah attended our most recent Colorado Christian Writers Conference (May 2011) and was kind enough to send us this note: The Light Box Method put this left-brained technical writer back in her right mind.

She was in her forties, married five years ago and helped her husband on their cattle ranch in Manitoba’s North Country. Following her death the [...]
