Hey friends and neighbors! After much prodding from my critique group and other writer friends, I’m finally getting off my duff and starting to blog. I read a lot, study our craft, keep my eye on the industry, and, of course, write as many hours in a day as I can. I come across a lot of interesting items as I peruse the writing world, so I thought I’d pass some of the more interesting things along. As a writer I’m not a complete novice, but I’ve got a lot to learn. So, I thought perhaps we could all learn together. Florida Writers Association motto is “Writers helping writer,” and that’s what I’m all about.
I’ll be posting tidbits here, and I help you all will share little nuggets you find from time to time. Now let’s see if I can figure how to get this to cyberspace.

Time flies. I don’t know about you, but for me there just aren’t enough hours in the day. I don’t have time to do all the things I’d like to do. One way I’ve streamlined my schedule is to sign up for several online news sites, PW Weekly and PW Daily specifically, to keep my ear to the industry. I get a good sense of what’s going on in publishing in just a few minutes every day.
