Author R.A. Bridges, Corrie's Mom
In life, it's easy for us to think we have more time. Think about being sixteen, seventeen or eighteen, and you think: "That can't happen to me." It doesn't matter what that is.

Although I've left my four blogs untouched for the last two weeks due to renovation and, you know, an active life; I've been more active writing this summer than in previous years. I allowed my career to run… Continue reading Meet Your Writing Goal: Enter a Competition
