I’ve gone on and on in the past about how important it is for new writers to meet and make connections with other writers.

March Progress Report and April Goals 2017
Hey, it’s April already! The year is flying by. March was a cool month. As I’ve mentioned in an earlier post, we welcomed the latest edition to our family in March and he’s doing great. As you can imagine, when you bring home a newborn, everything else slows down a bit, but that’s totally okay. […]
2017 February Progress Report and March Goals
Well I’ll start with the disclaimer that February has three fewer days than January, so if I missed a goal, that can be my excuse 🙂 Ha, but on a more serious note, this month has been super busy with non-writing stuff. Among other things, we took on the task putting new flooring down on […]

Here’s the thing. If you’re a writer and you hope to become a successful writer, then you need to view your writing as a business. I know, I’ve said that before, but this time I’m not talking about all the businessy things you need to do as a writer. This time I’m talking about how […]
333 Query Letters. Every Day.
A while back, an agent I follow on Twitter said something that had me flipping my lid. She casually mentioned that she had received over 20,000 queries so far this year. That’s 20-THOUSAND. With a T. I was like, well, if she takes on, say, twenty new clients this year, I would have pretty good […]
