This is the #1 tool I recommend for writers and educators. It's an affordable piece of software that allows you to brainstorm, organize research, draft, organize, revise, revise, revise ALL IN ONE PLACE.

​I first bought Scrivener in 2012 to write my dissertation.

I brainstormed, drafted, revised, revised, and revised that dissertation (and various offshoots: articles, conference papers, writing samples) on Scrivener.

I quickly realized how powerful this tool was and I started using it for everything: poetry manuscripts, job applications -- even wedding planning!

​Since 2010, I've hosted my author website on Weebly and I couldn't be happier.

I strongly believe every writer should have a website, and Weebly makes it easy to get a site up and running right away. If you're looking for the right platform to build your author website, read on for the top three reasons I recommend

I have a lot of exciting things coming up in 2019, and by September I was feeling twitchy for a 2019 planner, so I got online and ordered my Passion Planner. 
​

I know planners are a very personal thing, so go to the Passion Planner site to download free PDFs of the planner pages to see if this planner might work for you as well as it does for me. Read on for pics of my new planner's monthly and weekly pages.

​If you use any of the Passion Planner links on this page, you'll get a 10% coupon code that you can use towards your purchase.

I'm going to use Mailerlite as my new email service provider in the New Year. After a lot of research, I settled on Mailerlite because it has a free plan to get started AND has a ton of features including landing pages, automations, segmentation, and more.

I'm excited to start using all of Mailerlite's cool features in earnest. I've started setting up the "back end" of my account and am getting ready to send my first newsletter, welcome sequence, and email challenge. So far so good. I'll report back after a few months to let you know how it's going in more detail.

In the meantime, I wanted to share that I use Mailerlite in case you're looking for your own email service provider.
