With my day job as page designer, I had the skills necessary to create this: Voting continues through Oct. 11. Click for the link to my entry. I also decided to set up a Facebook Author Page. It’s high time to separate my three FB identities. I’m looking at...

Every year (at least for the last few years), the folks at Harlequin sponsor a contest called So You Think You can Write. Well, this year, I decided to enter. Yes, I think I can write — I just need to find enough people agree with me. That’s where...

With Sept. 30-Oct. 6 being Banned Books Week, I want to go on the record: People — of all ages — should be able to read what they want. Yes, even those poorly written “Fifty Shades” books, if that’s what keeps them turning the pages. It’s not so important...

Wow. Long time, no blog, eh? It’s been too long since I jumped into Six Sentence Sunday, so here goes. When last we left Dave and Melinda, they’d just started making out. Terrible place to leave the poor dears, I know. These six sentences pick up several days later....

Wow. With this weekend’s entry, I’ve completed a month of Six Sentence Sunday offerings. Let’s see if I can end the month with a bang, shall we? These six sentences pick up after Mel watches Dave tuck their daughter in and read her a bedtime story, so she’s feeling...

There is no secret. This infographic from Copyblogger tickled my fancy the other day, in part because it so eloquently speaks the truth. Like this infographic? Get more content marketing tips from Copyblogger. Had I not written so many bad stories, I wouldn’t have the good ones to show...

I was totally bummed to find out last Sunday’s Six Sentence Sunday link was broken. I’ll try not to let that happen again. This week’s submission is again from “Diva in the Dugout.” Soon after Dave meets his daughter for the first time, the three of them head to...
