Beginning last year, I made a commitment to really start focusing on becoming a better writer. With the help of some of my colleagues, I discovered there are so many ways to learn and improve everything I do as an author. I want to share some of the things I am doing to help myself […]

I had a blog planned out to write for today. Life being what it is sometimes, I wasn’t able to write that blog over the weekend, so I figured I would sit down and hammer it out today. My alarm went off. I got up. Did my early morning routine. Checked my email. And Monday
