I thought I was done, the manuscript was done–oh, sure it would need a few tweaks maybe some edits after my beta readers read it…and then the LITERAL second I emailed it to them, plot holes and problems popped into my head one after the other. A veritable parade of…

We’ve all had a typical work flow at one time or another in our jobs and careers, right? Well, why don’t we have a life flow? I mean, we do flow…r i g h t along with whatever current decides to carry us–we go with the flow. Or in some…
