When I think about all I can anticipate in 2013, I get really excited! One of the major advantages to taking part in something like A Round of Words in 80 Days — the writing challenge that knows you have a life — is the quarterly re-assessing of goals. It’s a bright and shiny new year…but […]

Final ROW80 Update of 2012! Eek!

Alright guys. I don’t have long for this post. Life has blown up around my ears and I barely have a clear view of the door, which I fear I’ll never reach through all this muck. Yes, I’m being dramatic. But there’s also lots going on, and that mental space I need to finalize the […]

For Writers: Snapshot of Publication Day
