I started to blog almost 4 years ago because of a dare. My sister insisted that if I really wanted to become a published author, I’d better conquer my fear of having people read my work.

Today’s editing wisdom of the day… Write with your heart and soul; edit with the stealth of a ninja. Amazing the things I come up with, when I should be slicing the fat from PB. Why is it so hard? It’s just words, right? Aargh! What are your writing challenges?
[tweetmeme] “Mom, are you sure we’re going the right way?” Thanks to Wonder Girl, this one question inspired a Write-a-Scene Writing Prompt last year over at my HipWriterMama blog.
