Back in October, I shared the reason for changing my current book. The story had evolved into a series (a recent habit of mine). As I started working on the story, I recognized that my characters' gifts needed deeper development. Learn more about it in my appearance on the Open Door Podcast. This meant a [...]
The end of the year is here. My Christmas holidays were relaxing and also fun. I was able to spend quality time with my kids, but I also got time with myself as the kids were with their dad just after Christmas. During my time alone, I decided to do a little work, but not [...]
A while back, I decided to work on a book I'd written over twenty years ago. One of the first books that I sent to publishers hoping they'd see the uniqueness of it. They didn't because the story was hopelessly flawed. When I decided to pluck it from the mountain of old story ideas and [...]

I'm sharing tips on how to get back on track. In my last post, I shared my goals and their status now that half the year was gone. One [...]
A recent article on LinkedIn got me thinking about what I'd tell my younger self if I could travel back in time. The first thing that came to mind were things like: don't date that guy, or save more money, spend more time writing and learning about the craft. But, after a little more thought, and [...]
The end of 2013 is approaching faster than a freight train. How did you do this year? Did you accomplish everything you wanted to? Now, before you start pulling the covers over your head or giving me dirty looks, let me just say I'm not here to grill you about it. In fact, to ease your fears, I'm going [...]
