Originally posted on The Write Stuff:
Every now and then, I find a few minutes to create a graphic or two. After I finished with my Christmas sale images, I figured why not do a generic review reminder? One that hopefully won’t be a problem with Amazon, since it doesn’t mention anyone’s books specifically and…

If You Want to be Heard

You have to speak. No one can hear you if you don’t or won’t say the words, do the thing, make your presence felt. I follow a lot of blogs because I find what they have to say is interesting. And, being a compulsive creature of a…
