Friday:  Mary and Ruthy flew down the hill on borrowed skis and taught a lesson on writing snow... and meaning it!

She's also giving away a copy of her upcoming Love Inspired book "Rebuilding Her Life".... win it before you can buy it! 
  
Friday: Depending on who you ask, authors are always juggling or wearing a lot of hats or spinning plates and/or herding cats. Beth is sharing some organizational tools and encouragement for your balancing act. She also has books to rehome, drop by for a chance to win one.








Ruthy is thrilled to have her debut series with Love Inspired: The North Country Series... updated and republished as an indie series! And folks are loving it, so that makes her even happier!

  1. Happy Weekend to All! I'm still thinking of Mary and Ruthy's blog about writing snow storms. Brrr! The temps are mild in GA. Thank goodness. Mild, but still cold! :)

    I'm finishing a proposal for a new story for LIS! Love the characters!

    Stayed up late reading The Giver of Stars, by Jojo Moyes. A delightful story. What are you reading?

  2. So pleased I won a book.
    We're going out to do errands before the NEXT storm, and the next one after that. Sheesh.
    I'm making good progress on my WIP. One of my goals for this year is 1,000 words a day, five days a week, and I just hit 20,000. Feeling good about it. It's not 20,000 good words, but they're words.
    Have a nice weekend,

  3. Sitting here in Nebraska with more snow coming down. The good news is it doesn't appear to be as much as predicted. But spring will certainly be welcome when it comes.
