No matter the stage of your writing career, you never stop worrying. All that changes is what you worry about. The solution? Ask a fellow writer for advice, for help, for a blurb. Writers are sharing bunch, and they will even share your worry. @jaelmchenry https://t.co/PVycVE6IGu

Writing is hard work. But can it also, sometimes, be play? My latest for @WriterUnboxed: https://t.co/va5G1rNsxK

I remember the lovely note Carolyn wrote me after reading The Kitchen Daughter, one of thousands of books S&S put out that year. A true leader and true light.

@shutterfly, My Christmas card order arrived (yay!) but the box contains someone else's pre-addressed envelopes instead of mine (boo!) How can we resolve?

[Writer Unboxed @WriterUnboxed]

Is there anything more precious to a writer than time? It’s the resource that makes all the difference. Time to think. Time to write. Time to edit. Time with readers. Don't wait for it to appear. Choose time for it. @jaelmchenry https://t.co/PVycVE6IGu
