Guest Post on The Graceful Doe's Blog

You may remember that Jo Hart from The Graceful Doe's Blog recent did a guest post here on What Harry Potter Has Taught Me About Writing.  Today, I'm honored to return the favor.  My article, Go Where It's Scary -- Into the Abyss, is posted on her blog.

I hope you will all check it out.  Although it's not entirely focused on Harry Potter, it's definitely writing related, and I did manage to squeeze one Harry reference in! :-)

Here's a snippet:
