    What is your favorite writing craft book? Think of a book that every time your read it you learn something or you are inspired to write or try the new technique. And why?

  • IWSG April 2021

    It’s April. Where did March go? I guess time really does fly when you don’t know what’s going on. No, writing things did not get done last month.

    Someone recently asked how my writing goals for 2020 and Summer 2020 specifically were going. BWAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHhahhahhheheheeehhewehewahwaaaaaahhhhh!!! (a descent into hysterical crying) *ahem* So, yeah. 2020 has not been so awesome on the writing front.
