Tips and Advice About Writing and Self-Publishing
I should add writing or maybe even watching a movie to the title of this Ramblings. It’s cold, it’s windy, snow is forecast, and I’m not a happy camper.

Weatherwise, not a great start to October. First two adjectives which come to mind, overcast and dreary which usually doesn’t bother me but for some reason, I’m ready to see the sun again. (I also have lots of outside chores to do too!) I’ve had four days off from teaching but I’ve kept busy with planning out upcoming classes, books,…

I almost forgot that’s it’s Friday. Summer’s going way too fast for my liking. I’m hoping that fall will be near perfect so I can squeeze in more outdoor reading and writing time before the first snowflake falls. Thank you to Madeline for her guest blog this week. It reminded me that I need…
I just found out it’s National Book Lover’s Day. I have my late father to thank for getting me hooked on books, reading, and I suppose that lead to my need to write. He used to take me to the library every Saturday morning, rain or shine. Back in those days, yes, we’re going…
