10 Ways authors hurt themselves And how to fix it with little to no budget by Angela B. Chrysler A business is all about quality and standards. It is about your reputation. Nothing more.

You want to sound accomplished, professional, and interesting. But I have no accomplishments! I’ve done nothing! This is my first […]
I’m working on Lorlenalin’s Lies today when I realized something I wanted to present as a topic. Writer’s Block. I just want to say, I don’t believe in Writer’s Block. I really don’t.
