It seems that Bronchitis has infiltrated my home. Seriously, we're droppin' like flies over here...

Since it’s very difficult to write while coughing up a lung, I thought it might be best to simply offer some really great info about some pretty important peeps.

Seriously, if you don’t already know these guys, get to know them. Become their new bff…

Bob Mayer is an expert when it comes to publishing, especially self-publishing. Check out his website…and while you’re there, check out his Warrior Writer’s program. Sign up for some classes, get some books, get educated.

Kristen Lamb is the Social Media Maven. She can teach you everything you need to know to connect, build your author platform, and conduct yourself out there in the big bad world of social media. First things first, get her book "We Are Not Alone - The Writer's Guide To Social Media," and when you're done with that one, get "Are You There Blog? It's Me, Writer?" Both are must haves.

Tiffany Lawson Inman a.k.a. Naked Editor is an expert on craft. She’ll tell you exactly what you need to know to develop real characters, engrossing and entertaining stories, and meaty plots. Daughter of the incredible Margie Lawson, Tiffany uses her background in theatre, and innate editing abilities to help her students create tangible stories that touch readers on an emotional level. If you’re interested in writing that kind of story, I suggest you check her out and stick to her like glue.

Alright, that’s all I have for you. I need medication badly…and some more dark chocolate. Well, I guess I can catch up on my Grey’s Anatomy now…
