Things I Learned During the #LeapAheadWritingMarathon
In February I joined my friend, Kaye Dacus, in a writing marathon. Kaye set up the marathon to focus more on developing commitment to writing rather than setting a word count goal alone.

Thoughts of Themes
In working on meeting my goal of blogging three times a week, I’ve been trying to think of possible themes for certain days. For instance, I think Fridays will become “Gluten Free Friday.” My plan is to blog routinely each Monday, Wednesday, Friday.
