Pauline Baird Jones replied to Megan Calhoun's discussion Weekly Commenting Contest: Who do plan on reconnecting with this Holiday Season?

"Christmas is a great time to connect--and reconnect--with friends and family. Because we live far from the main core of both our families, my hubby and I definitely have to call to make our Christmas connections. "

So, I Didn't Die Friday Night...

...and I'm really glad about it. A routine trip to pick up the hubby from the airport turned nasty when someone slammed into us while we were sitting at a stop light. My sturdy (new) truck deflected most of the force of the hit away from us and we walked away with bruises and a new appreciation for breathing.

I'm glad I still have time to do the things I've put off, and things I haven't finished. I still have time to go visit my parents and hugs my kids. Too often we go through life… Continue

An Empty Nest Mom

When I was first approached (via tweet) about this site, my first thought was, "What do I have to bring to a group like this?" My nest is empty, my thoughts turning to building a strong relationship with the hubby and managing my new free time.

Are you a writer? Have you published your work or are you seeking publication? Did you know that you are also a small business owner? This helpful handbook outlines basic and important information every author needs to know about the publishing industry and the “business” of writing. From developing a business… Continue

Author as Product

When I first started writing, I didn't think of what I wrote or myself as a product that needed to be packaged or advertised. When I published my first book in 1999, it began to dawn on me that there was creating and then there was the business of writing. Ten books later, I'm still trying to juggle the demands of the muse against the demands of the practical.

And more often than not, I drop both.

I must be crazy, but I still keep trying.

Megan sent out a… Continue
