NaNo is an excellent tool that has provided me with an education in storytelling, a community, and support that us loner-writer types really do need.

I have a Faulkner quote hanging in the top right corner of my vision as I sit at my desk, and it’s come to be something I live my life by.
I'm lucky enough that I get to share a new story from Catherine and Eleanor, two writers that brilliantly embody British love stories, both in modern and historical times. Here's what they have to say about their latest release, the Captain and the Theatrical.
