\"\"<\/a>It’s been a crazy time at casa Barany. A pipe burst in a neighbor’s apartment two floors up about two weeks ago, and we’ve been displaced ever since.<\/p>\n

Luckily, everyone is okay — neighbors and our cats and us.<\/p>\n

There’s just lots of wet on lots of books, shelves, and the rug.<\/p>\n

The kitchen caught the brunt of it. Then the water spread through the dining room, the living room, my office, and our housemate’s room.<\/p>\n

Luckily our bedroom is fine, which is great since that’s kitty headquarters. Until we moved into a residence hotel a week ago.<\/p>\n

I’ve had to cancel some classes and coaching calls. So sorry about that.<\/p>\n

We’ll get back on an even keel soon. Thanks for everyone’s messages and emails. So appreciate it.<\/p>\n

Through the chaos I have been editing my next nonfiction book<\/strong> — this one is on crafting compelling characters, and editing book two in my science fiction mystery series.<\/p>\n

It’s a soothing balm to my soul to put these two activities first. I even get up early to do so. First the fiction and then the non fiction.<\/p>\n

But I couldn’t do any of this with the support I’ve built around over the years: friends, writing buddies, critique partners, early readers, reviewers, and you.<\/strong> Running the business and helping other writers keeps me honest and helps me stay accountable.<\/p>\n

I really do think it takes a village<\/strong> for a writer to keep going in the hard times and soar in the good times, and stay the course in the in-between times.<\/p>\n

If you’ve felt like you’ve gone as far as you could on your own and now want more support to reach your goals as a novelist, then check out our Group Coaching Program for Genre Novelists, a 12-month program<\/strong>.<\/a><\/p>\n

This program is for authors who have completed at least one manuscript and want to become professional novelists, even if it’s a part-time endeavor.<\/p>\n

A professional novelist<\/strong> seeks to learn how to edit their own work, show up for the hard regular writing, and can ask for help in learning the things they don’t know.<\/p>\n

The kind of professional novelists we foster in our group<\/strong><\/a> are quirky, dedicated, earnest, excited about the art and craft of writing fiction, and are committed to the long and mysterious path to success.<\/p>\n

And that’s another thing:<\/strong> they’re willing to explore and then define what success means for them.<\/p>\n
