Writing Tip

This month, I focused on how it’s really okay to say “no.” In other words, how we can better balance our drive to write against the great number of other things that require tending to in our day-to-day lives. How can we make sure that caring for ourselves as writers doesn’t interfere with our general self-care? You can click the link above to read all about it.

That’s all for this month, but stay tuned in November. We’ll have three writescast episodes and plenty more to be excited about from there. Write on and write well.
