W is for Work in Progress. I feel like I have many manuscripts that fall into the “work in progress” category. A few manuscripts I am sharing with my writing group and others can not be seen by anyone yet! Continuing to write, even then manuscripts are in the submission phase and you are waitingContinue reading “W is for Work in Progress”

V is for Voice
V is for Voice. Finding your voice and using your voice can be hard. This is something I am continuing to work on. I use to rarely disagree and challenge people even less. I am learning to find my voice and use it. I still wish I was able to think of things faster inContinue reading “V is for Voice”
U is for Understanding Your Target Reader
U is for Understanding Your Target Reader. This is my 100th blog post! Thank you for reading and being part of my author journey! Here is a look back on my very first post, a little over two years ago, titled, “Introduction – why start blogging now?” I was so nervous to hit the “publish”Continue reading “U is for Understanding Your Target Reader”
T is for Time
T is for Time. You will never write the book if you don’t carve out the time. I enjoy this A to Z blog challenge because it pushes me to find time to write…every. Single. Day. I wrote The Kindness Machine when the world shut down during the global pandemic and I stepped away fromContinue reading “T is for Time”
S is for Sprints
S is for Sprints. This sprint requires no running. I am referring to writing sprints. I have been fortunate enough to be part of an amazing group of writers, all over the US and Canada, who have met via Zoom for the past two years. We meet to share our wins, share our frustrations andContinue reading “S is for Sprints”
R is for Resilience
R is for Resilience. Resilience is the theme for the A to Z Blog Challenge this year. The American Psychological Association defines resilience as: “Resilience is the process and outcome of successfully adapting to difficult or challenging life experiences, especially through mental, emotional, and behavioral flexibility and adjustment to external and internal demands.“ Many peopleContinue reading “R is for Resilience”
Q is for Questions…so many questions
Q is for Questions…so many questions. Just when I think I have something figured out on this writing journey, I have another list of questions. I am not sure if I have ever asked so many questions about one particular topic in my life and there are hundreds more that I’ll encounter along the way.Continue reading “Q is for Questions…so many questions”
P is for Power of Picture Books
P is for the Power of Picture Books. THIS is the post I have been most excited to write! From the tips of my toes to the top of my head, I truly believe that picture books have power. They have the power to spark creativity, foster imagination, induce belly laughs, teach concepts, share cultures,Continue reading “P is for Power of Picture Books”
O is for Outline
O is for Outline. Raise your hand if you are a plotter? What about a pantser? Raise your hand if you have no idea what I’m talking about? A plotter is someone who typically outlines, plans and maps out their writing. A pantser often “flies by the seat of their pants” and writes without aContinue reading “O is for Outline”
N is for Never Stop Learning
N is for Never Stop Learning. The idea of “knowing everything” becomes more and more of a joke as I get older. You learn more and become wiser through experience, but there is a never ending amount of information that one person can not simply “know everything.” And that’s fine. Understanding that we don’t knowContinue reading “N is for Never Stop Learning”
