A Crisis of Faith

      Comments Off on A Crisis of Faith

Recently, I went through a crisis of faith about myself and my writing career. (I deliberated using writing “career” there, but I am endeavoring to be more positive!) I, like many, have doubts about whether or not I am cut out to be a writer. There are times when it seems all I ever wanted, and there are times when… Read more »

What Kind of Dog Do I Have?

      Comments Off on What Kind of Dog Do I Have?

Well, none, because I’m not a dog person. But that’s not the point, obviously, or it would be both a very short and very non-writing-related post!

The Future…

      Comments Off on The Future…

Sometimes I get so scared about writing. I know how many people out there want to be authors. Who doesn’t know someone who is “working on a book/novel”? I know that there are plenty of talented writers who never find the right agent or the right publisher, and their work slides into obscurity. I know that it takes more than… Read more »
