The Cost of Not Writing

February 26, 2015 latchkeymom

Hi everyone! I’m co-hosting Finish the Sentence Friday this week, along with Kristi Campbell, Kerri Ames, Kelly McKenzie, and Anna Fitfunner. I’m not sure if anyone has noticed, but I’ve been MIA for the last few weeks. Since January 28^th, I’ve only posted one blog, and that was a late post I wrote for Kerri, about PACS1.

One of the connections I made at Bloggy Boot Camp last month was Nicole McArdle, from Pubslush. Haven’t heard of Pubslush? Well I hadn’t either, but it’s a global crowdfunding platform for the literary world. Writers can also use the platform to raise funds, gather market analytics and be informed about upcoming literary projects. You can read more about what they do here. They also have a wonderful blog.

They asked me to participate in Project Blogger. Project Blogger is a series that highlights bloggers and their journey to blogging. I was flattered to be invited to participate. You can read my interview at Publslush here.
