I’ve got some various reasons to start showing up here again, among those the fact that I do miss it. And some people from way back when on LiveJournal got together and said, “Hi,” online, which made me miss it a little more. But I realized I was tired of the design and feel of the […]

Before I get down to business today, I want to show you a few of my favorite books. Wait, what’s that one out in front? Is it…? It is! Yes, two copies of The Writing & Critique Group Survival Guide showed up at my house this weekend. Did I mind the rain and gray skies? […]

Shrinking Violet Promotions is one of my favorite blogs. I discovered it soon after I started blogging, and I’ve been a regular reader since.
