12 x 12 Featured Author December 2017 – Marcie Colleen
Wow! Is it December already? Where does the time go? It certainly has been an honor to be your Friday Dance Captain these past weeks and now I get the added honor of being the Featured Author this month. I thought long and hard about this post. I contemplated sharing some last minute, “do-this-before-the-year-ends” advice. […]
12 x 12 November 2017 Check-In!
WOW! I’m so far behind I didn’t think the end of the month was until tomorrow (hence, the lateness of the post). I will tell you the truth. I am so fried I have no idea whether I wrote or revised a draft this month, and I’m too tired to go look at my badges. […]

12 x 12 Check-In October 2017
It turns out October was an auspicious month for me. I wrote not one, but TWO new drafts (although I am going to count the second one for November because “It’s my challenge and I’ll do what I want to…” LOL). I also revised yet another draft. To top it all off, I just spent […]

12 x 12 Featured Author October 2017 – Katey Howes
I’m going to be honest with you all. I was scared to write this post. I know I’ve got a couple books coming out—which feels amazing and unreal all at once—but I don’t think that makes me any sort of expert. I am well aware that luck and timing and the subjective magic of the […]
