    Last Day to Join Kris’s Summer Challenge…

    Her Challenge Will Be Closed off Late Tonight… This challenge was something Kris really wanted to do to keep herself focused for at least a few hours a day on writing instead of all the business stuff. It worked for her in May and she wanted to extend it through the summer. Every day you get a letter from Kris about her day and her writing. Eye-opening and don’t expect her to ever do this again after this summer. So today is the last day to jump in. Might just be the best thing you can do for your writing for the summer. And for me right now, I have…

    What Is A Weekend?

    A Great Question That Applies to Professional Writers… Kris and I honestly at times don’t know what day of the week it is. For example, tonight, on the way home from the Aces’s game, we ran into a bunch of traffic right near the Art’s District near where we live. Neither one of us could figure out what was going on until finally Kris said, “Oh, it’s first Friday.” First Friday of every month there is a massive arts’ fair in the downtown area. Even though earlier we had done a normal Friday lunch with writers and I had done a webinar that is always late Friday, neither of our…

    She’s Doing It Again…

    Kris Wants to Do Another Challenge for the Summer!! Not kidding. She told me that and for the next three days I asked her if she sure until she got mad at me and said she was  SURE!! It seemed the January challenge and the May challenge really kept her focused on writing first every day, even with all the business stuff she has been dealing with. And it was a lot, let me tell you. Her challenges work like this… She writes a letter to me every day telling me what went on in and around her writing and how many words she got done.
