Checking in

I wanted to check in with an update of what I am doing. I have been working on my book this month. I recently had some positive feedback about my writing so I am pretty encouraged. In the interest of keeping myself motivated, I have been working my way through some writing books, such as One Year To A Writing Life by Susan M. Tiberghien (most excellent); Too Lazy To Work, Too Nervous To Steal by John Clausen (wonderful, practical advice on freelance writing); and The Writer's Portable Therapist by Rachel Ballon, Ph.D. If and when I sell my book I am flying out to Los Angeles where Ballon maintains a practice and shaking her hand. She has helped me write through some of my ridiculous fears and I am not even a third of the way through her book! I highly recommend all three.
