This short story began its journey as a submit for an anthology. It didn’t make it, but I received very positive feedback on how it was not quite the right fit for the anthology’s theme. After a year or so, I revisited the file. It went through a couple of professional editors. Then I decided to give it a chance through Amazon’s Select program. The reception could not have been better. I’m getting 4-5 starred reviews; people are actually reading the story and liking it. So it’s been a good journey so far.

I’ve heard a lot about writing to a daily word count or page count. In my opinion, that is okay if, A) You’re a full time author and B) You’re okay with it.

It is definitely not my case. With my currently day job, writing time is very sparse so I really need to make the most out of it. I have a daily goal, just not in word-count. For me it is more integral to the story: A chapter, a scene, etc. The only time I set a page count goal is when rewriting and revising. There I force myself to do a page count so I can estimate how long it is going to take. This is useful when writing against a deadline.
So, learn that you can be flexible on how to set your goals. Now, once the goal is set, you have to do everything to reach that goal.

Meet Morgen Bailey from the UK

Like I do with many folks, I met Morgen through the Internet when I learned about the great interviews she does. I thought it would be fun to turn the tables on Morgen and find out something things about her, so here goes: Morgen, except for the fact that you do terrific interviews I know very little about you. So here goes with my battery of questions. First, tell me something about your background, including where you live. Thank you Marilyn. I live in Middle England really; Northampton. About as far away from water as you can get (3 hours) which I don’t quite understand as I love water; every picture (actually subconsciously until a friend pointed it out) in my house contains water. I’m one of two siblings, I have an older brother who’s an IT project Manager and lives in Zurich, Switzerland so I see him 2-3 times a year (birthdays, Christmas; the latter spent in my mum’s kitchen / diner with opposing laptops). My father died September 2011 so she potters while my brother an

Today is My Birthday!

I never thought I'd live this long! The last few years, birthday celebrations have usually been a nice dinner out in a restaurant. Hard to do these days. Sometimes cake and ice cream is how we celebrate. This year my granddaughter, Melissa, is doing something special. She's taking her grandpa and me to a place about 1 1/2 hours away for lunch, called The Secret Garden. I've not only never been there, but I've never heard of it. I took a peek on the Internet and it looks like a beautiful place to celebrate most anything. Yes, I'm excited. I'll take pictures and report on it when I get back. Melissa is special. Everyone loves here, young and old alike. I was in the delivery room when she was born--exciting and wonderous. I babysat her many times until her mom and dad moved to Central California. (We live there now. When she was a teen, she came with me when I took the women in my care home to church camp, and was an unbelievable help. I couldn&
