  The McGuffin has been a powerful storytelling device for a long time. It was Alfred Hitchcock who popularized both its use and the name that sounds like it should be on a dollar menu. The McGuffin has a cool job: to keep the plot, character, or situation rolling along. It draws us into the story and [...]

 Wow, a week ago today, our page count was something like 470 pages sold. In one week, we&#8217;ve skyrocketed to over 900. What caused this sudden burst of sales? What drove our traffic through the roof last week, pushing us to 1600 on Alexa, and 3600 for the week? How did a college senior manage to generate over $40,000 in revenue in ONE WEEK?
