July/August 2023

Once again I find myself apologizing for my inconsistencies. My June newsletter was late. Now we're at the end of July and I'm late with another newsletter. Therefore, this is a July/August newsletter. Summer has been busier than expected. Not to worry. I'll get back in the routine come September!

I'm finally back at it!

Despite my summer break intentions to get "Author Me" back on track, my attention to social media, newsletters, and working on my manuscript was averted.

After two weeks of no progress, I was determined to figure out a way to recommit to my writing and promotion. I had to re-energize "Author Me."

I discovered a plan that—so far—works for me!

This is exactly where I stalled a couple of weeks ago. I'm grateful to be back on track!

While at the beach with my family, I finally cracked open On Writing by Stephen King. I'm still working my way through it, but it's already impacting my work. I believe that's because I really connected with the memoir section. Writers are a different breed. This book confirmed beyond doubt I'm a member of that breed.
