"I don't know all the details yet - I need to wait and know every detail before I begin writing." Have you heard of these excuses before? Have you said them yourself? As a avid writer myself and the author of three books, I have heard all of these statements and more. I call these statements Writing Myths because that is exactly what they are - myths. Today...

It doesnt seem fair or even possible to have the best of both worlds. I believe that we have the... Read More

I want... Read More
