And it’s Caturday … All authors stumble—some fall down and get bruised deeply. The only solution is to open your computer; get your pencil and pad out; or start dictating. Move forward, one word, one sentence, one paragraph, one chapter at a time. There is no other recovery method for when the rejection arrives at your authoring door.

That’s me for this Saturday … How about you?… What are you up to? …

Friday mornings are the place to be with other authors! I love the Friday coaching that happens early each Friday AM. I always have a “new tip” for the group that I lead with—a “show and tell how to do ‘it’ … whatever ‘it’ is, then it opens up to “catch up” and “asks.” Become a subscriber so you can get Friday Coaching for only $37 a month for VIP AuthorYOU members, $47 for non-members—limited number of subscribers allowed.
