I’m sure everyone has varied opinions about the difference between bragging and marketing, but for me it’s simple and basically looks like this: Bragging – I see you’re following me on social media, so let me tell you about my award-winning, best-selling, super-hot, amazing book.

Just Part of the Story – #MFRWAuthor
I don’t find prologues to be more helpful or hurtful than any other part of a book. Like epilogues, they could be called a chapter instead without making much of an impact on the story. If the prologue is interesting and necessary to the story, then I don’t see how it’s hurtful. To share my…
What They See Isn’t Always What They Get #MFRWauthor
Is there anything about you only your family understands? That’s the question this week on the MFRW 52-Week Blog Challenge.

Delivery is a Skill – #MFRWAuthor
Have you ever watched someone and admired a particular skill they have or how they handle a situation and later find out they have also admired certain abilities you have? Without even realizing it, you’ve engaged in mutual coaching. Learning is about give and take, and many times it doesn’t go one way. Although a…
