Tuesday Guest Blogger- JL Peridot
Say hello to this week’s guest blogger, JL Peridot… When did you begin writing? From a very young age. Seven, I think? I remember sitting at my dad’s computer in the first house we ever lived in, saying to myself I was going to write a book. I didn’t even know what a “novel” was…

Monday Motivation-Pick Yourself Up
I love this quote because it reminds me no matter how many times we fail at something, there’s an opportunity to try again. Only we stand in the way of doing just that. This week if a rejection comes your way or a story isn’t working out as planned, simply start over.
