Happy New Year! I’m still on hiatus, but I wasn’t going to leave without scheduling a few posts. Hopefully, this one and others will serve as a good start to 2012. We’re about five and a half months out from Writers Worth Week, but it’s never too soon to build value and worth into our…

I’m still out of the office, but I wanted to leave behind the monthly assessment. Just because the rest of the country is on vacation doesn’t mean we can avoid accountability.
