"Hi, Paulette, thanks for your response. I'm not in Mpls anymore but in SF for the past 16 yrs, though I get back to Mn frequently. Enjoy the Stanford class. Teaching it is going to be so much more fun than doing a curriculum - detestable…"

"Hi, Joanne. I'm so glad you're "done" too! Congratulations! You ask a burning question: is it possible to market AND write at the same time! I'm struggling with that myself. Just this week I began to work…"

"Done! And, like you, I do feel good about Graffiti Grandma, the POD resting here on my desk. Now I have to market it, but it's taken years to get her there. I need to take a long walk, appreciate the moment, and calm down the little…"

I’ve been so busy lately working on a curriculum for an on-line memoir course for Stanford that I feel a little nuts! I don’t have time for much else. I didn’t realize that I would have to write out every…

John McPhee has a piece called “Structure” in the Writing Life column of the January 14, 2013 issue of The New Yorker.
The last paragraph of the article keeps going round in my mind:
“People often ask how I know when I’m done—not just when I’ve come to the end, but in all the drafts and…

So many of you have been writing to ask me why The Answer to Your Question is not for sale on Amazon yet!
Okay, a few of you have actually inquired (thank you). After all, I spouted all over the Internet that it would be available on January 1, 2013. That was my publication date, and here I sit…

Crystal Mary Lindsey said… Hello Paulette, I think you are wonderful to become your own publisher. Writing is not as hard as actually getting the book all together and out into the market. I self published my first book. This time however, I have tried something different and I pray it works. With the help of Christian Manuscript Submissions I am completing a proposal of my second book. This will be placed on their website for publishers and agents to read, and if one of these is interested, then they will contact me. I hope this happens.
