Playing catch-up

The site (at least, I believe) has been back up and running most of the week, but I’ve been swamped and haven’t had a chance to update on anything. Between allergies and some mysterious blah-ness, my health has really been on the outs with me this week, so it has slowed down all of my … Read more

Interview

Cynthia Leitich Smith’s interview of me is up over at her LJ (and all the various mirrors of it). Thanks to Cynthia for the chance to tell her all about what I’m up to lately. Go check it out, and then if you don’t read her regularly, browse around. She interviews a lot of interesting … Read more

My sister was once an ad designer, and she has been helping me out in the last couple of weeks to design an ad for my critique services, which I’ll be placing in SCBWI newsletters.

We’ll see what happens. On to other news. Suddenly life has gotten really busy! Especially with … Read more

Thoughts on starting a business

I never really thought I’d ever be in a position to start my own business. I never really liked to think about money–growing up, we never had any to worry about, and in college my money management skills were about equal to Wall Street’s current crisis. But because I didn’t grow up learning those skills, … Read more

Allowing myself to be zen about the clutter

I’m sitting down in my office for the first time in weeks. I’ve been working all sorts of other places for the last few weeks except for my office, because the office has been a downright terror and it doesn’t exactly soothe me to work in a space that has a tarp on the floor … Read more

Manuscript critique discount

We’re all dealing with tough times right now. Getting your manuscript critiqued by an experienced editor is definitely a luxury, and an expensive one at that. With that in mind, I’m offering a discount for the next month (expires March 11) on my manuscript critique services. Critiques of submission packets (first three chapters and query/cover … Read more

An announcement, of sorts

I was recently asked to the LDS Storymakers Writers Conference as a guest editor. If you’re LDSĀ or interested in the LDS writing world (including as an LDSĀ author writing for the national market), I hear it’s an excellent conference. (This one will be my first.) As you’ll see from the link I just noted above, my … Read more
