“I’m not a risk-taker when it comes to safety and health…but when it comes to my attempt at a writing career, I’ve had to take chances, as many writers do, in order to move forward.” That’s what I posted in Olga’s comments on her blog entry re

Who loves a good story?? Everyone. But I’ve come to some conclusions to what draws me to an author’s work again, and unfortunately the conclusions are an entire cluster of things that I need in one book! Okay, here’s the dreaded list of qualities… Oh, and BTW,

I had my first official “business luncheon” with my agent last month, and I realized a funny thing. It is not the easiest task having lunch and talking. Now you may think that heck, a person does this all the time, right? You sit down with your family or friend to have din

Okay, I received the revision notes from my agent. And it’s another LARGE revision. If I rush head long into it, writing in spurt moments during the day, and at night when everyone is asleep, it’s going to take about 2 weeks. But I have to say, all her thoughts make perfec
