My lovely blogging friend SA Larsen has come up with a wonderful Writer's Creed that she has invited all writers to join in on and use to motivate themselves. In honor of the new year and narrowly escaped zombie apocalypse (okay Mayan, but zombie sounds so much more fun. That could be because I've become a Walking Dead fanatic.) I am compelled to join. This is going to be a special year for me. I can feel it in my bones (which I'm grateful have not been gnawed on by zombies) and since 13 has always been my lucky number, I'm trusting the feeling and rolling with it! So, here is the creed: I hope you'll stop by the lovely SA's blog to join in and to see who else has adopted The Creed of 2013. And don't forget to mark your calendars for Monday when my big cover reveal will finally be here!

My inspiration this last week has been coming up with my post for the Rebel Writer’s Pledge. The pledge is the brain child of SA Larsen, writer and all around fabulous lady. It is a way for us writers to declare out goals, cheer each other on, keep hope alive, and keep one another on track. And it’s a blog hop! We have to list our writing/life goals and highlight one to add to the main pledge page. For each writer goal I’m putting a personal goal as well. Here they are: Rebel Writer Pledge 2012 #1 Writer: I pledge to support my fellow writers and authors as much as possible by buying and reading my author friends’ books and by helping my writer friends on the Monday night #WritersRoad chat. Personal: I pledge to spend as much time with my husband as I do with my writing, and to talk to my sister and mother more often. #2 Writer: I pledge to meet my deadlines for my press, turning in two more books this year. Personal: I pledge to exercise at least ½ an hour five days a week. ...
