#WW The Difference of Pronunciation and Writing
#WW Pronunciation and Writing Me Talk Pretty One Day by David Sedaris demanded my attention simply from the title. Despite working with the English language every day—both as a writer and as an editor—I have difficulty speaking. I stumble and stutter a lot. Perhaps this is one of the reasons I worked so hard to… Continue reading #WW The Difference of Pronunciation and Writing
#WW Staying Focused as a Writer
#WW Staying Focused as a Writer Staying focused. It sounds simple but is all too complicated for many. It’s different for every writer, but I’ve recognized quite a few common stressors among authors. Some get overwhelmed by finding time to write and manage social media. Others can’t finish a novel without another one sneaking up… Continue reading #WW Staying Focused as a Writer

#WW I Avoided Certain Books. Here’s Why.
#WW I Avoided Certain Books. Here’s Why. Right now, I’m basically reading all the novels I’ve avoided over the past year or so. Why did I avoid these reads? I can honestly just guess—since it’s difficult to remember—but I thought it’d make for an interesting topic. The first novel I picked up was The 5th… Continue reading #WW I Avoided Certain Books. Here’s Why.
May’s Ketchup
May’s Ketchup Can you believe it? Another month has flown by. And it’s still raining here in Missouri. Almost constantly. It’s actually rather unusual weather for us (to this degree), and I’m starting to wonder why I tend to begin these with a weather report. (I have no idea, but I enjoy it.) Alas, May… Continue reading May’s Ketchup
