I am also currently reading The Sun Also Rises, by Ernest Hemingway, as a classic book set in Spain. Dark Frontier by Matthew Harffy is also on my list - I'll be interviewing him about his new book set in the American West on my blog later this summer/fall. (less)

Don't think you have to have the whole story figured out before you start. I also advise starting with short stories, that will give you practice in starting (and finishing!) a whole story arc. Find a knowledgeable community that can give you feedback. And submit your stories to publications. It's terrifying, but a necessary step!(less)

To Substack or Not to Substack…

Forgive me the Shakespeare-ness of my title, but my Family Book Club* read Hamlet over the month of January and so it was top of mind.

In all truth (forsooth!) I have been wrestling with this question!

For those of you who don’t know, Substack is the platform where all the cool kids are.

Just kidding! But not entirely…. there are some pretty cool people producing content over there. Substack describe
