When I say, “Let’s talk about rejection,” you might be thinking, “Let’s not and say we did!” Ha ha! But you know what?

So for this week’s walk let’s talk about rejection and the useful place it can have in your writing life.

On Social Media for Writers

I know it’s difficult as writers to develop a public presence when we spend so much time inside our own heads mining for words. But these days reaching out to readers is becoming more and more a necessity. Social media is a good way to do that and yes, it can be overwhelming to figure out. How can you as a writer get comfortable with social media? Take a walk with me in this week’s video and we’ll talk about it.
