Now On Substack!
After a fun, if exhausting, weekend at the Kauai Writers Conference, I’ve started a Substack that will discuss writing and publishing on a more regular basis than this blog.

Coming Soon… ish

This weekend, I joined the many who have exited X (formerly known as Twitter). It was a tough decision; I’d been on the platform since February 2009 and curated a really great community made mostly of writers but also artists and others. I stuck out wave after wave of bad decisions, keeping to the fringes and my core group rather
