September 1, 2018 By: Jason Bougger

Hey, writers! So if you’ve poked your head into the Write Good Books Blog lately you might have noticed a few podcasts, but not a lot of anything else. Like I said in July, I was going to take a little break from blogging to catch my breath a bit and work on some other […]

April 30, 2018 By: Jason Bougger

Looking at my writing goals for 2018 and how I'm doing so far.

I haven’t done one of these posts in a few months, so I figured, What the heck? It’s the last day of April, so why not share some of my writing accomplishments, goals, and dreams? With 2018 quickly passing by (it’s already 1/3 of the way done???) I’ll look at the goals I set for […]
