Goals can help you do a lot of things. They keep you focused, they help you strive to be better, and they challenge you.

What does it take to tell an adventure story? So many great writers and hopeful adventurers have set out to travel, hoping that might help. Does it? Can you choose to set out on an adventure, and if you do, will that make a good story?
Exciting news: today my new book, Crowdsourcing Paris, is published! I’ve been working on this book for five years, and I’m so excited to finally share it with you.
Crowdsourcing Paris means a lot to me. It’s my memoir of a pretty amazing chapter of my life. It’s also the book that you helped me write, and so I’m especially excited to share it here, in the Write Practice community.
