Romance Writers of America: Pros and Cons
Part the First
Our weekend is all “booked”. I’m sorry, I couldn’t resist.
The conundrum I’m facing today: Writers need a platform. For a platform, they must seduce people into caring that they exist and write books. To seduce, they must interact and self-promote. Follow my blog with Bloglovin (AKA Bloglovin’ says I have to do this if I want my blog on their site.) Not everything you hear about introverts is true, but it is sterling 100% silver true that I hate self-promoting. And, OK, to be honest I’m not super fond…
Happy Birthday to Theodor Seuss Geisel. My heartfelt, grateful thanks for the side-eye looks of horror and confusion from volunteer readers that I bring into my PreK class and then unleash the good Doctor’s work on.

I thank you, Dr. Seuss, and I read your books every year.
