Setting self deadlines
When I first started starlighting, I set a deadline. “I’ll finish my first draft of this novel by May 17.” That self-imposed deadline did two things: it gave me a goal and made the starlighting seem manageable. I wouldn’t have to get up early forever, just until May.
Starlighting on the Farm
From time to time, I’m going to profile other Starlighting writers as an inspiration to us all. I’m pleased to announce our first one – Angie Lathrop Treinen.
Angie is a YA fantasy novelist who juggles writing with 2 kids, 9 draft horses, 2 dogs, and a barnyard full of cows and chickens
