Weekly Post: You may have a plan….
but your cat has other plans. My writing process involves sitting down with my notebook and a hot beverage. I usually have an idea in my head and a hope that it all comes together as a I etch it out. The only way I can effectively edit is if I have to slowly read... Continue Reading →
