A Writer in Queen Ruby’s Court is about living freelance-style, with cats.

It’s about taking risks. It’s about getting the gears moving when they’re grinding down. It’s about recognizing the difference between urgent and important. It’s about creating and sticking to a plan. It’s about staying nimble. It’s about saying no when you feel you can’t say no. Except to the cat. Never say no to the cat.

Queen Ruby is about the business of writing. I share strategies that have worked for me over the last ten years to keep my days feeling fresh — and strategies for digging out of the hole when things go stale. I also have some expert tips for falling utterly down a hole.

Oh — and did I mention that there will be cats?
