Why there’s no guest post today…and what’s coming up around here.

With Rachel Hauck. Proof that we really did hang out……even if we didn’t get the guest video ready for today. Haha! Okay, so for the first time in many a Wednesday, we have no special guest today. I had actually scheduled fabulous author Rachel Hauck and we had brilliant plans to film a video interview this past weekend while we …

Hello, Leviticus.

Today I’m in Savannah hanging out with the rockin’ My Book Therapy (MBT) core team. I say rockin’ with no bias at all, of course.But seriously, I love this team. If you’re a fiction writer, MBT is THE place you need to be for craft and coaching community. In the meantime, I’m guest blogging over at Jenny Hale’s blog. About…Leviticus. And …

Why I love men.

Okay, so today’s post is not my usual devo-ish Friday post. But it’s been in the back of my head a long time. So I figured I’d finally let it out.

Welcome Mat Wednesday: Agent Amanda Luedeke

Fun stuff today! We’ve got literary agent Amanda Luedeke hanging out here today with a Q&A about her new book, The Extroverted Writer. Amanda’s pretty much the coolest agent ever.

A working break.

Hey friends! I’m talking a little blogging break just for the day as I finish up a three-day writing sprint. It’s sort of like an Olympic sprint minus the short shorts and well, the running…but plus a ton of caffeine, my favorite pajamas and quality time with my laptop. Somewhere Usain Bolt is wishing his sprints were half as exciting. See …

Brainstorming fun.

Last week, my awesome crit partner and friend Lindsay Harrel posted a video of our top ten must-haves for a perfect brainstorming weekend. We sorta consider ourselves experts on the topic since, after all, we totally had the perfect brainstorming weekend.In Phoenix, by the way. Where it’s warm.

Why I love the MBT Frasier Contest

But then Lindsay reminded me I was supposed to post a blog about the Frasier Contest as part of the My Book Therapy blog tour. Yay for friends …
