Goodreads is a great place to keep a book journal. But have you ever thought about keeping a journal to record your life, figure out problems and gain self-understanding? I've written a short guide on how to get started and keep going. It's called 10 Steps to Jumpstart a Journaling Habit. It's free and available at this link: https://dl.bookfunnel.com/xyfcsqh6bx

I've been so concerned about the many, many people who are homeless that I decided to do something. It's a small gesture, but I'm giving half the profits from my book All are Free to Write to Mobile Loaves & Fishes, a nonprofit that provides housing for folks living on the street. All are Free to Write is a one-year journal with writing prompts -- one for each week of the year. More details to come.

My new journaling book "All are Free to Write" is due for release in early December. I just got the book cover design and it looks great! This is a one-year journal with prompts for each of the 52 weeks. It will be available on Amazon as an e-book and as a paperback (with blank pages for journaling). More details to come!

I can't read this book. It is too gruesome!

Just finished my first novel! Wasn't sure I had a piece of fiction in me but I now have a manuscript -- Working title is To be a Skylark.

Sending the draft out to writer friends for their feedback. Next step is sending the full manuscript to a professional editor for her review.

It's a work in progress! I'll keep posting updates.

News flash: I just finished my first novel. Didn't think ! had a work of fiction in me but I proved myself wrong! The working title is To be a Skylark. I'll post updates as I move forward with this project.

I can't read this book. The brutality and predatory actions of the powerful are too much for my taste. Sorry I couldn't read it because it was a selection for my book club.

I couldn't read this book. It's too offbeat for my taste, but it was interesting to see that no matter the historical moment, humans have the same biases and prejudices and failings.
