December has begun, our debut year is coming to a close, and there are so many things running through my head.

You have the right to suck. There, I said it. This is a little known fact about authors and publishing and hell, life in general. And I think this has been one of the hardest lessons for me to learn over the past 8 months of being a published author. I still have the right … Continue Reading
It’s that time of year when my Twitter and Facebook feeds are full of Word Wars between author friends, ideas for quick writerly snacks, and great motivational quotes about writing. It’s National Novel Writing Month, and I’ve been a participant officially or unofficially for the past six years. This year I had plans to join … Continue Reading
