Yes, I know every one writes about this but his time it’s going to be good I promise! The writing group I recently joined put on a self-publishing seminar. It had two self-published authors in the morning then a panel with three members of the group in the afternoon. The morning speakers both had interesting […]
Read more "Yet another post about self-publishing"I’ve been thinking about this a lot recently. I read a lot, I always have, but now I have started writing reviews it has made me think about each book in an analytical way.

Read more "Setting Myself Goals"I’ve been having a hard month, well hard is probably a bit over dramatic but it has been problem after problem.
