If you’re like me, you both hate and love bees…and I’m unusually (and pathetically) terrified of them…even though I’ve only been stung once…and even then, I hated them long before one stung me at a bus stop while I was innocently sitting, doing nothing to deserve the… Continue reading #SATurday The Sting of #BookRelease Day

#WW Deciding To Change My Writing Plan
Writing is a business. It’s an investment of time, care, and love. (Love definitely makes it easier, anyway.)

#SATurday Confessions of a Slow Writer

#SATurday Emotionally Spamming Readers
Emotionally Spamming Readers I want to talk about something unusual…at least for me as an author…and because I’ve never really seen an article discussing it (other than how to avoid it), I thought it would be fun to address it. Overwhelming your readers with spam. Rather than talk about literal spam, I want to talk… Continue reading #SATurday Emotionally Spamming Readers
#WW I’m Leaving Again (But wait. There’s more.)
