I read a book once. I know you are very surprised at that. But this book talked about learning to write more in a day. While I don’t write as much (not even close!) as this author does, I was able to up my word count on a regular basis. It’s nothing...

I was asked a really good question not long ago that I thought deserved a longer, perhaps more thoughtful answer. “How do you handle negative reviews?” Let’s face it. No matter how hard we try, we can’t please everyone with our stories. Some will lov...
