Today's #MondayMeme in the countdown to the 10/7 release of CRAFTING STORY MOVEMENT is from Nancy Johnson, who—surprise!—included me in the acknowledgments of her debut novel, THE KINDEST LIE. So often, we have no clue who is listening when we put our message out into the world! #writingcommunity

In the countdown to the 10/7 release of CRAFTING STORY MOVEMENT, here's a blurb from David Corbett, whose writing scares me a bit—😅— yet always challenges with his keen observations. When he sent me this endorsement, I was...truly speechless. #MondayMeme #writingcommunity #storycraft

The countdown to release continues with today’s #mondaymeme from writing guru James Scott Bell. I’d only met him once—in 2012!—but he remembered our interaction and said he’d read my manuscript!

I completely lost my voice between my first and second presentations at the Pennwriters conference in Pittsburgh this weekend. In a weird twist of fate, the second was ”Elevate Your Prose through Confident Voice.” Many thanks to @Malissa Close for stepping in to read my script!

Love this reminder of writing expectations. I promised my husband I’d be published by the time my oldest got out of school and here we are, me with my proud smile and my debut, him with his master’s. Of course I’d meant high school. And without the gap year.

Finishing a book + earning a living + staying informed these days = unrelenting stress. But then your granddaughter turns 6 and you make Chocolate Crinkles from the Betty Crocker Good and Easy Cookbook you’ve had since you were her age and all is well in the world.
