Tuesday 12 x 12 – Peter Dargatz
Today’s Tuesday 12 x 12 post comes to us from Peter Dargatz. Reading Peter’s post reminded me of the main reason I started 12 x 12. The desire to increase my output of writing. Many of you have had that moment that gives meaning to your passion for writing, as Peter talks about below, but sometimes […]

Stacy McAnulty – 12 x 12 Featured Author May 2015
True story of how this post came to be: I knew Stacy McAnulty, of course, since she is in her 3rd year of 12 x 12 AND we own Dear Santasaurus. But over the past couple of months, she had been making so many motivational and “spot-on” comments on the 12 x 12 Facebook Group […]
12 x 12 April 2015 Check-In!
Lots of April showers over here. And no small amount of disappointment that, once again, I did not write a new draft. I did complete a major revision, but I’m itching to write something new and yet haven’t been able to get Butt in Chair. In part it’s due to a couple of disappointing rejections […]
