Given I started this month with COVID and ended it in full-on book promotion mode for SONG AFTER SONG: The Musical Life of Julie Andrews, I am amazed to report that I did, in fact, both revise and write a draft this month. I seized inspiration for the draft, and revised another one so it could go out on sub. Whew! Most months are NOT this productive for me, but I’ll take it!

What about you? Did you complete a draft and/or revision in August? Did you post a review of a 12 x 12 member book on Amazon, GoodReads, or Barnes and Noble? Let us know in the Rafflecopter and in the comments. August Featured Author Donna Cangelosi is offering one lucky 12 x 12 member a picture book critique. Hooray!

Thanks, Donna!
