Writing Ranting – Why am I not published yet?
This isn’t a rant about how I should be published by now, even though I really should be🤣. It’s an explanation as to why I’m not published already. I also hope to clarify that writing and publishing a book is not a short process. That being said, it can be a fun one if you […]

Writing and Reading Ranting – What’s the Point if You Don’t Follow Through?
