New Year’s Resolutions

OK, so it looks like I’m already failing on one of my New Year’s resolutions to add at least one new post to my blog each week, but the year is still early. My excuse is that I have been working on 3 different books right now, which are all in different stages of development, and I get to teach the Gospel Doctrine Sunday School class 3 of the next 4 weeks, but I thought this week I had better repent. Thus, I decided to start gradually adding info to one of the other pages on my website called “Author Therapy.” When our local Sycamore Writing Group began nearly two years ago, we would start our monthly meetings by learning about an established author and how they got their start. I don’t believe there are many successful authors who are born that way. Rather, almost all of them become successful after hard work, and listening to their struggles is both reassuring and motivating. I thought it would be great to include some of their stories on my website to help motivate others — even for those who are not necessarily authors. I have tried to research many of the assertions and claims as best as I can, with a lot of the info coming from Wikipedia and the author’s own websites. Check out my first entry about an author who’s first name is Joanne.
