The last two months have been pretty busy from a personal view, with my oldest starting kindergarten, my second-oldest starting pre-school, and all of the usual stuff that takes place when the school year gets back into swing. On the writing front, I’ve mostly just been in the “do the daily minimum” / survival mode. […]
Face your (writing) fears
When I first started tinkering around with writing fiction so many years ago, I went out and read several magazines and browsed through a bunch of books on writing.
