<--This little saying could not be more perfect for the two friends I had the distinct pleasure of meeting this year. Both ladies are warm, caring, and wicked wordsmiths.
The People of 2010 – Part IV

Obituary for Common Sense
Today I had a friend forward one of those emails. We all get them. Sometimes they’re funny, sometimes they make you think, and sometimes they fill your heart.
The Love Hate Relationship
I have a love / hate relationship with my editing software. I go through and do all of my edits, do a read through, and when I think things are in good shape, I bring out the evil editing software. I call it evil S.
Don’t Buy My Books
This is how I felt when I heard this morning that Amazon.com had a book available for sale on Kindle that goes against the grain of moral and ethical decency.
The Downhill Slide
There comes a point in during the creation phase of a book when you hit the downhill slide. The point where you are getting close to your ideal word count goal… when you know where the book is headed and all you have to do is reach the finish line.
