My WriteDay Focus Group was formed and met online in August. Seven book friends answered questions for me about products, promotions, and more. I found the comments extremely helpful and useful to my business plan for My WriteDay subscription box. Heartfelt thanks to
Fran H.
Louise M.
Susan I.
Diana R.
Amber M.
Sherry P.
Kaye D.
for their amazing insights and generous sharing of time and thoughts. For their efforts, everyone received a set of free downloads including a fitness planner. I held a drawing for a signed copy of Writer Wellness WORKBOOK. The winner was Kaye D.

I co-hosted the Authoring Onward podcast with Connie B. Dowell for the last year, and it was a pleasurable experience. I loved talking to other writers and getting behind-the-scenes info on their processes, life, and work. Connie is taking a break from AO to work on other projects. Here is the latest podcast where I was featured. I’ll be sharing other links of past productions in future newsletters.
Music I’m listening to right now:
