St. Lawrence Ripples

My dad, Murray Shor, is so awesome! He's 82 and has been an editor, columnist and writer most of his adult life. A few weeks ago he calls me up and ask me if I might consider helping him to self publish a book.

I was like, you bet! 

His book, St. Lawrence Ripples, is a compilation of twenty columns he wrote in 1957 for the the newspaper in Potsdam, New York. His columns were all based on historical documentation and told the many stories and tall tales that inundated that area, some going back to the early 1700s.

It debuts March 1, 2014 as a Softcover and eBook.

Y is for YOU Made It!

On day left in the A to Z challenge and this year, I've made it! This being my second year, I knew what I was up against. I had a better plan, a list of ideas and several set in stone topics to write about. This planning, made it so much easier.

What this challenge has really done is made me sit and write, every day for a month. No excuses. This has established a new pattern for me. One that makes me think of writing every day. After I write my A to Z post, I've been working on an outline for a new book.

I only spend 20 minutes researching the different themes that I want to include, it keeps me writing.

This is an exciting time. This idea that has been with me, festering for a few years, now feels fresh and new. I can't wait to work on it more.

So tomorrow is Z and I look forward to to it, knowing that I and many others have made it through this challenge. 

I finish with more than I started. Thank you!
