Have You Seen My Motivation?
I can’t seem to locate it! I used to have too much motivation and not enough time. Now I have hardly any motivation and hardly any time anyway. My life feels like it’s in a state of limbo with selling this old house and still waiting to move into the new one. My day is…
Read MoreEmbrace the Season
I’m in a season of transition in my writing and personal life, and Writer…Interrupted will be going into a season of transition as well. I’m still waiting to hear back from the remaining editors who still have my WIP and as far as I’m concerned no news is good news. In the meantime I’m trying…
