Confession: I have never been very good about keeping track of the books that I read. Maybe it didn't matter years ago, but as I grow older, I would really like to remember the year that I read THE GREAT AMERICAN NOVEL. And if I rated and wrote a review, all the better.

I have blogged before about how these brainstorming … [Read more...]
Does Writing Ever Get Easier?
Three weeks ago, I hit the Send key on my computer, and away went my latest manuscript to my editor (as well as to my agent). Trust me, sending in a manuscript is a fearful moment for me.
