Fall is most certainly here, so says the crunch of leaves as I did my morning outdoor chores. I hope you all are learning that the cooler weather is some prime writing time.

But, it’s also time to do inventory. What stories do you have? What manuscript is ready to see the light of day? Don’t know? Time to know. Do an inventory. If you don’t have any, get cracking, get writing. Finish something. Then… Send things out. Try a goal of at least one thing a month. If that’s too easy, try once a week. But send it out. Send, send it out. (Are you singing yet? ::send it out::) Be brave. Do it.

And now your moment of Writing Zen:

“It takes a lot of courage to show your dreams to someone else.” ― Erma Bombeck
