  • Secondly, my 30-Day Writing Challenge to Preparing Your Novel is open now! This is my launch course for our new Barany School of Fiction.

    Join us in the class! I'll be preparing 3 novellas during the class.

    Please share with your friends. All the details for our current and upcoming courses here:

I'm off to play hooky in the middle of the afternoon. So luxurious! And I'm hoping to be inspired and rejuvenated by the concert I'm going to. I love live music and people watching. Perfect timing as I ramp up my writing!

Where do you find inspiration outside writing and reading?

Hit reply and let me know!
The "Prepare Your Novel for $1/day for 30 Days" home study course is live!

Go here to our new Barany School of Fiction to sign up to be notified when the course launches. We're putting the final touches on the course.

I'll be preparing my next romance novella in April. Why don't you join in?!
