Fearless February! That’s my mantra for this month.
February will be the month I step out of my comfort zone and do things differently.
February is also my birthday month and I plan to celebrate ALL MONTH LONG!
Here are my goals for the month:
How I Manage My Time
Every Tuesday in the See Jane Write Facebook group I host Q&A Tuesday and invite members to ask me anything about writing, blogging, and business.
Yesterday a Facebook group member asked: How do you manage your time? What does a day look like for you?

Stop Being a Writer Who Doesn’t Write
Stop being a writer who doesn’t write.
I first heard those words from blogger and journalist Alexis Barton in July 2014 at the first Bloganista Mini-Con, the annual summer blogging conference I organize and host through See Jane Write. Alexis, who blogs at Same Chic Different Day, was the morning keynote speaker at that year’s conference. Her words stuck with me. I’m still hearing them a year and a half later: Stop being a writer who doesn’t write.
Lately, I feel as if I’m failing to answer this call, failing to meet this charge. Lately, I feel as if I am a writer who doesn’t write.
