    Interesting things you've listed. I find it fascinating that you don't like to write--but love having written. Do you think it's because you worked for two decades in the publishing industry?

    Stephen King? :-) I admire him, love his non-fiction "On Writing" but don't like anything else he's written. :-) lol...

    Fascinating people, we are :-) !

      Hi Teresa, thanks for stopping by :) To answer your question, writing is hard work, plain and simple. I don't like hard work but I like the sense of accomplishment it brings when I'm done. Does that make sense? LOL

      As for Stephen King, yes, his book "On Writing" is fabulous. I think his last name is very appropriate. He's a king to me :)

I'm honored to host author, Michael Thal, on my blog today. Today marks the release of his latest novel, Koolura and the Mayans (Koolura series Book 3) which is available on Amazon . I want to wish Michael the very best of luck with his new endeavor. Blurb: Koolura is no ordinary girl. Neither is her best friend Leila.

The Mayans have troubles of their own—the alien Aquari people have all but enslaved them. They need a goddess to set them free. Could Koolura be the one? Excerpt: Twelve-year-old Koolura Akopyan stood in the middle of her bedroom, staring at the open suitcase on her bed. She looked at what she had already packed. “Okay, I think I have everything. Laptop and books are in the backpack. Clothes and bridesmaid’s dress in the suitcase.” She paused and flopped onto the bed. “Gosh, I can’t believe Daddy and Terri are finally getting

Guest Blogger, Andrea Buginsky, stops by chat about writing with a disability

Andrea Buginsky has enjoyed writing since she was a kid. Once in college, she decided to turn it into a career and earned a BA in journalism. She has been writing freelance for several years now. Andrea has always wanted to write children’s books. She loves fantasy movies like "The Lord of the Rings" and "Harry Potter," so she decided to try writing one of her own. She is excited to announce her first publication, The Chosen , a young adult fantasy. As writers know, writing can sometimes be hard. You have moments when you want to write, but don’t have time. You have moments where you have the time to write but no idea what to write. You even have times when a huge deadline is looming and you’re working day and night to meet it. These obstacles and more can make your writing life a hard one. Not to mention the publicizing and advertising that comes with it. But you suck it up and do what you have to do for your writing career because it’s what you really want. T
