No Tuesday guest blogger this week so thought I’d address a topic that’s been on my mind for several months. While I haven’t done as much reading over the summer as I’d hoped, I have read the beginning of many stories and chosen to pass on them. They might have been great stories but they…
Tuesday was a day I’d be dreading for a long time. It began not as I’d planned. My tabby cat who was 22 years and 2 months old (yes, you read that right), showed signs that his journey was coming to end. Up to a few weeks ago, you would never have believed he was…
Two posts in one day, but I wanted to let you know that my How to Write a Non-Fiction Book in 30 Days is on sale. It’s a four week self paced course with other great resources like a Kindle publishing guide and self publishing planner. It’s on sale for just $5 because I’m taking…
It’s supposed to be in the mid 80s today, and next week, well, let’s just say, it’s going to feel cold. Seems like the leaves have turned overnight and falling even faster. Next week, the September classes come to a close and then on October 5th, a class and boot camp begin. The class focuses…

If there ever was the ultimate motivational quote this is it. Life throws stuff at everyone, and every writer gets rejections but it’s the people who pick themselves up, that get results. Writing a book and getting published might seem impossible. In fact, someone might have told you it’s impossible. Fact-It’s not. It’s all down…
Fall is almost upon us. The leaves are turning and even falling. Where has 2020 gone? Looking back over summer, I didn’t get as much reading done as I have in previous years. The books I did read were entertaining and I found some new to me authors which is always exciting. I’m still on…
Thinking about taking part in this year’s National Novel Writing Month? It’s not even officially fall yet but it’s never too early to start planning. In fact, planning and getting all set up before Nov 1st, I feel is the key to writing 50,000 words in 30 days. Here are some steps to get you…
