I haven’t posted *all summer* — and it didn’t occur to me until I read this great post by my writer colleague Val Brooks that I realized I should have given y’all a heads-up: “I’m taking a time out to frolic offline in the summer’s sunshine, and then a derecho will leave me without power for the better part of a week and then I’ll be traveling and traveling more and paying bills late and unable to put fingers to keyboard.”
I’ll return to more regular posting within a couple of weeks, but her suggestions are too good to delay passing them on. I particularly like Part III, where she gets down to tangible suggestions, but Parts I & II set the stage.

Thanks, Les, for posting this! Summers are hard on moms who want to write, never mind keeping up a blog. That infographic cracks me up! Here’s to all the struggling writers who are trying to focus and write brilliantly. Hats to you, and hugs.
