FIVE THINGS FRIDAY: Finding the Write Gift

The gift giving season is upon us and there’s always that one person who’s difficult to buy for. Am I right? And usually, it’s the write person. (See what I did there?)

On this week’s upcoming Firsts in Fiction podcast, we’re talking about that very subject. Over the last week, we (and by we, I mean Aaron, Al, and myself, along with our merry media elves) have posed this question:

What’s a great gift to get the author in your life?

While I don’t want to give away the store (err, answers) here, I thought I’d at least share … read the rest. . .

Win a Christmas Fun Giveaway from Kathy Ide

Hey peeps.

So, I’m hoping by now y’all know I’m also working behind the scenes social media for Kathy Ide. I was blessed to meet her at the Orange County Christian Writers Conference in April.

The Fiction Lover’s Devotional Series is a great collection of 21 short, easy to read, thought-provoking stories and the newest edition is ready just in time for Christmas.

Let’s test this theory . . .

New Inklings Press-ents

Merry Christmas! How exciting that it’s less than a week away.

Are you ready? I’m so ready, I’m getting ready for next year already! Okay, not really. But almost really. I’ve definitely got plans. I may even venture into the world of day-after-Christmas shopping to find some amazing pack-it-away-for-eleven-months deals.

But that’s next year, and that’s a little ahead of the game.

This year, I have a few more gifts to give . . . to you!

#DoingTheWriteThing Update: December 17, 2014

I sometimes feel like a circus performer, juggling more plates than a normal person would, yet artfully keeping them up in the air without fail.

For the most part, anyway. The law of averages dictates that sooner or later, the law of gravity will take hold of one or more items and, well, you know . . .

It’s when I don’t make time for writing that the rest of … read the rest. . .
