If you want to become a better writer, you have to write. But you also have to read. One of the things I love to read about is the craft of writing — advice, tips, and techniques from other writers.
Take a look at what I was reading this week & a few other things that inspired me:

I only have two years left of posts to get through! Haha. I feel like I am enrolled in “Kami Garcia’s Novel Writing” online course. Aside from the baby asleep on my shoulder and the toddler thrashing in her crib, it’s just like my college days! ; ) You could use all these materials to teach a college or masters writing course! I know, I know, you are incredibly busy. And I am probably prattling on to an old message board that won’t ever be checked. But if you do read this, I just want to say thank you again for this invaluable resource! Also, I just power read Dangerous Deception and it ROCKS. : )
Cheers,
Hailey
