Hey! I’m filling in for Susie May this morning. She just got back from a fantastic retreat with some marvelous marketers in Texas, so she’s in catch up mode. I was telling her about a conversation I had with the great Matt Jones at Jones House Creative about writing. I told him, “Your dream is worth your effort.” He in kind, immortalized the line in a screen saver for me to used and remember! It’s so true. Your dream is worth your effort. Worth your time.

“I like your jacket,” I said as Sally sat down at the table. She unwound a knitted scarf, rich with reds and greens. “Christmas gifts, as well as these.”  Sally held out fingerless gloves. “For typing on cold days.” “Perfect.  How is the editing going?” “I’m finished, or at least, for now.
