Always be on the lookout for new markets… It’s amazing what you find in your mail. And no, not e-mail, but the old fashioned kind that arrives in your physical mailbox. I’m growing vegetables again this year and ordered some potatoes. What does this have to do with writing you ask? It’s a case in…

What’s Happening In 2021?
No guest blogger today. Instead, I thought I’d share with you my plans for This Writer’s Life in 2021. I have some changes in the works.

Monday Motivation-Today, Not Someday
I overheard this last week and it stuck in my mind. I thought I’d make it into a motivational quote graphic to share with you. I’ve put it on this Post It note to remind you how important it is to follow your heart, pursue your dreams now and not ‘someday’. Don’t be the person…
