My New Year’s Resolution

I don’t normally do New Year’s resolutions, but now that I’ve finally gotten a start on my dream I figured I might as well start doing some serious goal setting. My goal for the upcoming year is to have my next manuscript completed. There’s going to be a lot of work involved in the promotion […]
