(Image Credit Raymond Carrillo Flickr) So What Is A Moonshot Bernie?

My Seven Week Writing Experiment
My Little Writing Experiment So I’m always writing every day. But still have some odd aversion to hitting publish, and there is always an internal debate about what to post first. Then I massage my work and wonder if it is for this person or that person. Then I’ll go and read a […]

How To Kill Writer’s Block And Thrive
