The first book I ever wrote became the Red Letters series because I couldn't learn when to stop telling that story. Still can't, but at least it's shaped right now, and the staying in world gives us plenty of Fiction Friday content. So, today's Thought for Thursday is about Book Hangovers. That feeling when you … Continue reading Book Hangovers For A Very Thoughtful Thursday
