I finished Story-a-Day May! I wrote every single day and ended up with probably 29 stories or scenes I can polish up or use somewhere. And even though I’ve ended up re-publishing my first novel on my own, that isn’t what I want for the rest. Or I don’t think it is. My dithering about … Continue reading
Against my better judgment, I’m participating in Story-a-Day May again this year. (If you’re giving it a try, let me know!) I love Story-a-Day because it motivates me. I like the pressure.

I’m excited about my publisher’s work and I want her books to … Continue reading
May is here! And I don’t know what you’re writing these days, but I’m taking a giant stab at Story-A-Day May. I’ve managed it before, but I’m not sure this time how chemo treatments are going to get in the way. To be accurate, how the side-effects are going to get in the way. But … Continue reading
