“Good novels are not written, they are rewritten. Great novels are diamonds mined from layered rewrites.” -Andre Jute. This morning, while I was struggling to think of something to write in this blog today, I was also struggling with the words I had written yesterday for the 6 Month Challenge. I wasn’t pleased with how…

It’s October 1st, everyone, and you know what that means! Or, rather, you know what that means if you’ve been reading up on my lately or happen to be reading Sue Healy’s blog, too (if you’re not…you should!). About a week ago, Sue put out that she was going to challenge herself to write a…
