Preparing for Tomorrow’s Journey

As we transition from sharing my novels to helping you write yours, I’m taking this moment to prepare for tomorrow’s first post under our new format. The Pencil’s Edge will now focus on practical guidance, professional insights, and encouragement for beginning novelists.

Tomorrow, we’ll explore what it means to start your writing journey, drawing from my experience of writing that first novel at age 60. Whether you have just an idea or a partially written manuscript, I look forward to sharing both the craft and courage needed to write your story.

Join me tomorrow as we begin this new chapter together. After all, every writer’s journey begins with a single mark on the page.
