Writing at Your Own Pace

I’ll start by saying that I’m incapable of churning out as many words and pages as Catie has been writing the past few weeks.  I admire her ability to write that way; I know of many authors who write fast, and many others who write truly high quality books.  I can count on one hand [...]
