I’m leaving for retreat today, so I thought I’d do something I haven’t done before on this blog: spotlight some previous posts that have been popular. There’s not really a new post today, but hopefully one (or more) of these will be new to you!

Here they are, in no particular order.

-A tale of five cities (where my debut novel come from)

–Why I don’t generally like first person POV in fiction

-The legacy you’ll leave, and the example of Cervantes

–When success feels out of reach, shoot for consistency

-Persuasion and how Jane Austen hooked me despite comparatively low stakes

Happy reading!
