Year in Review: 12 Best Posts of 2017

Blogging may not be “cool” anymore, but it helps me try out ideas and sort out what I think about them. In 2017, you followed along as I went public with my next book, realized that self-publishing wasn’t the right route for it,  and considered giving up weekly posts.  Along the way, I launched and hauled (and capsized) various watercraft.

Here’s a look back at some highlights from 2017. Thanks for being part of this journey, and enjoy your holidays wherever they may take you!
