What is this fascination by readers of how an author lives? Or how the author writes? Or how the author rises in the morning and goes to sleep at night? I thought I’d be quick and say I don’t really care about those writers, but that got me thinking. Wouldn’t it be cool to know …Read More

The Ten Things I Resolve Not to Do in 2016
I started posting these resolutions on my Facebook page and now hope to lure a few more visitors over here to read the whole list.

I wasn’t going to post until Monday, but I couldn’t resist wishing you all a wonderful new year with bushels of happiness, a ton of good health, and many days of productive writing (not to mention a contract or two)!
Looking Back on 2015 and Ahead to 2016

The Message That Demands to be Heard … by Tracee Sioux
The goose bumps on my legs sprouted hair as I absorbed Elizabeth Gilbert’s speech at the inaugural 2013 Emerging Women conference in Boulder.
