Do You Remember When your First Story was Published?

Were you nervous about writing your first story and submitting it for publication?

I remember fretting about whether or not I should even write my first story, Tails of Sweetbrier. Initially, I thought no one would want to publish it. Maybe it would be too boring. Yikes, that would be unfortunate. But then I remembered my dad always said that if you’re afraid to try something,…

A Case of Black Rock Mineral Water

I should like to offer the title story of my new book for members views and criticism.

Seems like we as authors and readers can find very little time for anything other than writing, reading and promoting.

Well, I've been that way since the new year.

But then I started to think, maybe we could send a quick reply on this blog post to update the members here on what we've been up to lately. Whether itk's writing or whatever, let me know. Did your dog just have puppies (Grin - everyone loves puppies) or did you welcome a new addition to your…
