If you are like most yet-to-be-published writers, you attempt to learn all you can from the successful career authors any chance you get. This often includes reading magazine articles, interviews, and online articles about them, and sometimes even traveling to who-knows-where to meet them live and in-person at some sort of writer's conference or author signing.

Yeah, that's not what this post is. So you can relax. Hehe. As some of you may know, I participated in (against my better judgment) the Disney Princess Half-Marathon on February 23rd, 2014. I was talked into this ... View Post
