Pushing and Pulling
This Wednesday I am pushing against some self-imposed deadlines, while being pulled toward new and exciting goals. I have recently participated in a constructive pitching roundtable (during which I felt both woefully unprepared and unexpectedly encouraged) while continuing online classes with the Kauai Writers Conference.

ELAN Blog becomes PattyMayeuxBlog
A few years back I hosted a blog based on 10 principles by which I strive to guide my day to day decisions and behaviors. ELAN stands for Elevating Life Attitudes Now. You can read more about the 10 principles here. The PattyMayeuxBlog will include those principles as well as notes on my personal journey…

We begin…
Happy Wednesday! This is the first post in my Wandering section about me and my publishing journey. It may serve as a midweek breath of fresh air or even hilarity as I share distractions, frustrations, missteps and hopefully some leaps forward as I work toward publishing my blog (rebooted from the ELAN Blog a while…
