What Do You Love About Series?

November 4, 2021 By Karen Witemeyer

Not long ago, in my Facebook group, The Posse, a reader asked me this question: "When do you begin planning a new series? What is that process like?"

Patience or Procrastination?

September 16, 2021 By Karen Witemeyer

I am a very task-oriented person by nature. If I start something, I'm going to finish. I have to finish, otherwise it will drive me crazy. But sometimes, it's the starting that trips me up.
