Good Authoring Day to YOU               

Happy Saturday to you …

This past week has been all consuming with all the final preparations for the Authors Hall of Fame event … and tonight is the night for the Induction for the Authors’ Hall of Fame Induction. Sixteen awesome and lifechanging authors will be honored. It will be an amazing evening … wish you were here.

It’s #Caturday post time. When writing nonfiction, bring forth the years of your experiences—both successes and failures. When writing fiction, let those years flow through your storytelling.

That’s my past week … 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, then it opens up to “catch up” and “asks”. Become a subscriber so you can get 

Friday Coaching for less than a weekly glass of wine; for less than a weekly Bacon, Egg & Cheese Biscuit – Combo at Chick-fil-A; for less than 3 movie tickets! ALERT …we do this on Zoom … you need to connect with me. Only $27 a month—limited amount of subscribers allowed. We gather via Zoom at 7 AM. The dress? Totally casual. Get on board –it’s fun and informative … and you get all questions answered. This is for any author anywhere!
