This past month I have been proud at the number of times that I have sat down at my desk and put pen to paper or fingers to keyboard with the intention of writing. It is hard work and, on those days, when I feel myself getting sucked into the character's mindset, it is inspiring … Continue reading The Writer vs The Reader & The Quest for Balance
