August Motivation: Commit Every Day

On August 4, 2019 By Erica RueIn BlogLeave a comment

There are many in the writing community that crank out thousands of words an hour, edit a book in a week, and publish a book every month or two. That is not my production model, and that’s okay. Maybe one day I’ll hit that stride, but for now, all I can do is improve my …

2019 Writing Goals: The June Check In

On June 2, 2019June 2, 2019 By Erica RueIn BlogLeave a comment

With five months behind me, I thought it would be a good time to go back and look at my goals from January to see how things are going, and if I need to make any adjustments. It might make more sense to do this in July, half way through the year, but I'm a …

This week I have tidying on my mind. Yes, I've been watching Marie Kondo's new Netflix show about getting organized and eliminating belongings that don't "spark joy." It's definitely inspired me to start going through my things one drawer or cabinet at a time. I'm not sure I have this whole "spark joy" thing down …

Blogging, aka I do what I want

On December 30, 2018January 6, 2019 By Erica RueIn BlogLeave a comment

"You need to write a blog if you want to become successful." "Blogs are over. Unless you're somebody, no one will read it, so don't bother." A year ago, I toyed with the idea of starting a blog. I came across a lot of conflicting advice and got stuck trying to figure out my "angle." …
