Admittedly, I'm not a fan of my current placement on The Road to Authorship. I'm in a phase where I don't wholeheartedly belong. It reminds me of an uncomfortable feeling of displacement, where I'm no longer content in staying where I've been living but I'm not quite sure where my new residence will be just … Continue reading A Displaced State of Writing: Weeks Post-Manuscript

And for anyone who has trekked along with me for any length of time, you know that I've made an effort to share some of my goal-setting initiatives with you (albeit, more of a hodgepodge compilation spread out over time instead of a real … Continue reading Goal Setting: Essential for all Life Journeys

A well-known author stated that the job of a writer is to inspire, educate, and/or entertain.
