Why I Write by the Seat of My Pants (opens the original)
Read excerpt
There’s a term in the writing world for authors who don’t outline every detail of a book before they begin.We’re called pantsers.As in, we write by the seat of our pants.That’s me.I know authors who create detailed outlines before they write the first word. They know what happens in every chapter, which scenes need to occur, how their characters will change, and exactly how they’re going to get from page one to The End.I admire that kind of organization. I really do. I just don’t write that way.
Maybe That Wasn’t the End of His Story (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Sometimes a character surprises you by showing up in a story when you weren’t expecting them. And sometimes they surprise you by refusing to leave.That’s more or less what happened with Ethan Caldwell.If you’ve read Holly’s story, you’ve already met Ethan.

I liked how she discovered there’s so much more to her when she met Caleb, how they bonded and helped each other grow.”There was one word in that review that stayed with me.Bloom.More specifically, the
The People We Learn From Are Still Learning Too (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I used to think expertise had a finish line.You learned enough. Worked hard enough. Became successful enough.And eventually, you arrived at that magical place where you knew what you were doing.The longer I’m in business—and the longer I’m an author—the more I’m convinced that place doesn’t exist.And I’m beginning to think that’s a very good thing.Recently, I had an experience that reminded me of that.I belong to the Hot Mess Millionaire Club, led by Heather Hildenbrand, and we had the opportuni
