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…

Monday Motivation-Showing Up
Friday Ramblings From An Author-Falling Leaves
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…
Saying Goodbye To My Writing Companion
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…

Friday Ramblings From An Author-Almost Fall
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…

Tuesday Guest Blogger-Gayle M. Irwin
Say hello to this week’s guest blogger, Gayle M. Irwin… I began writing books in 2007. However, I’ve been a writer for nearly 30 years. My career began at a small, western Montana town newspaper as a reporter and photographer. Less than 10 years later, I became reporter and editor for the West Yellowstone News…
How to Set a Writing Goal (aka, how to get a book written)
It’s September, the first of the BER months, the last part of the year, for the self employed, it’s the fourth quarter. I’ve never liked using January as my goal setting, start over month. There’s something about it that says pressure. I can’t remember exactly when, but I’m now using September as the start of…
