along for the ride

Lots of wagons and carts this week.  And a few monsters along for the ride...

Going for a Ride, detail

Almost ready

Almost Ready, detail

not just written

Read, read, read.

Write something every day.

Never take no for an answer.

Don't believe your reviews--either good or bad.

Heart on the page.

Know that books are not just written, but rewritten.
