What Do You Love To Do In the Summer?
We drove out to visit family yesterday and ran into a bunch of traffic, most headed to the beach based on direction and the number of kayaks and surfboards we saw strapped to the roofs of the cars. Beach and pool season is definitely upon us in full force!
I’d be the one under the umbrella, but where’s the stack of books?
What do you like to do in the summer? Barbecues, time at the beach or in…

What to Know Before Pitching Your Book
When it comes to pitching your novel to an agent, there’s no room for self-doubt. You’ve worked hard on that story, right? You’ve sweated and agonized over best first lines, character development, plot, and more. So, what’s to keep you from stepping up to the pitcher’s mound and throwing your hardest, most accurate ball over the batter’s plate?

We Are The Authors
Of Our Lives
“Vulnerability is not winning or losing; it’s having the courage to show up and be seen when we have no control over the outcome. Vulnerability is not weakness; it’s our greatest measure of courage.” Brené Brown
The alarm goes off at exactly 6:30 am. Mercy me. It takes a minute to figure out where I am and how the hell to turn off that appalling noise.
After pushing every square…

Self Publishing Show Live Recap by Kitty Bucholtz
Check out the recap of last month's Self Publishing Show Live writers conference in London!
I was thrilled to attend Mark Dawson’s SPS Live last month in London! It was exactly the shot in the arm I needed to bring back my thrill for my career! I thought you might want to know what happened there because you can still buy the digital ticket and watch the recordings of all the presentations. You’ll be glad you did. Soooo many people — onstage and off — made a point of encouraging…

Baby's First Birthday & A Foreshadowed Change
Baby’s First Birthday & A Foreshadowed Change
Effective this past Friday, March 26th, The Sword & Shield has been available to the public for a year. It is officially one year old, which hardly seems real but apparently it is so I can deal with that reality in a future therapy session.
So many amazing opportunities and experiences have opened up to me courtesy of this debut novel and I would not be where I am without the love and support of…

Ten More Takeaways from the 71st Philadelphia Writer's Conference
Ten More Takeaways from the 71st Philadelphia Writer’s Conference
Back for More Quality Learning
Coffee break at the Philadelphia Writer’s Conference. They gave us plenty of coffee and tea.
I am writing this post for all those aspiring writers who do not live near a major city or are unable to attend a writer’s conference.
I almost missed 2019. I am glad I did not.
After my positive first impression at the 70th Philadelphia Writing Conference, I wanted to…

Writing Conference Memoirette
I just attended the Lorain County Library’s (awesome!) writer’s conference led by Chuck Sambuchino. The most interesting moment of the conference was when Chuck read manuscripts and murdered them in front of us. Until that moment, I’d never actually experienced group tension in the flesh. It was like an invisible spider web stretched across the room and we all vibrated in sympathetic agony when…

Showing up For Work
Showing up For Work
I’m not feeling great. I should probably just end this post right here. But, no, I’ll soldier on. Not because this post is important, it’s not, but because it represents all the things on my to do list and so much that is just life. No one needs to hear my laundry list of “woes”, we’ve all got them. More to the point is that I’m struggling. My mom’s death feels like an endless, bottomless pit…

Only God
“God, you want me to do what?” What in the world does a kid from Oklahoma know about hosting a writer’s conference? I mean, I have been to a few, but put one on? One thing I have learned, the hard way, is simply be obedient and do what God is telling you to do, whether you know how, or not! Truth is, sometimes it’s better if you don’t know what you are doing, because then you are more likely…
