Yep, we’ll have a full on open mic comments session tonight.
We’ll start at 6 p.m. Pacific Daylight Time.

In general, you’ll hear me tell writers they can’t wait for the muse (and yes, that sculpture is of muses and it’s on a theater in Russia) if you’re going to have a career in freelance writing.

I’m normally at my computer writing by 6:30 or 7 in the morning. I’m one of those folks who likes getting up at first light and mornings are my most creative time. It’s just flat easier to write in the morning for me than at any other time.

The truth is, the principles Sonia point out about romance novels… what makes them work, will work for many more kinds of writing than just copy or […]
