Writing, marketing, and life...

Often, new authors and readers will ask me a question about writing, marketing, or how I ended up where I am. 

Inevitably, I usually say, "I wrote a blog about that..." and if I haven't, I try to answer and then say, "I should write a blog about that..." So, here are a few. I hope you find something you can use or that one will just make you feel better since I write about everything that I experience as a reader and a writer, and sometimes, just life. :)

    1. Thank you for stopping by, S.J. I just read and commented on your post on Carole Avila's blog. I hope you enjoy some of these articles. I simply post my thoughts and experiences about whatever I'm dealing with in my writing, marketing, or just life sometimes. Hopefully I've already encountered whatever situation you might be dealing with in the wonderful world of books and my thoughts might give you some ideas. If you didn't see a post that pertained to something you've come across, by all means, please let me know. If I haven't written something about it, I'd love to. I'm always looking for ideas. :)
