21 Days of Fearless: Day 14

Last night I received the first edited version of my book. I sat on my couch, looking at the bottom of the word document in awe: Page 1 of 89. It was nearly 100 pages shorter than when I sent it to her. Is this what editors do? Just chop your work up and spit [...]

As a result of yesterday’s fun, today was sparked [...]

21 Days of Fearless: Day 8

I wouldn’t say I’m a sushi connoisseur, but I do fancy a good plate every now and then. I know what I like, and when I go out for sushi, I tend to get the same thing, over and over and over again. I was reminded of this last night when my girlfriend instinctively knew [...]
