For those of us who have been seriously blocked at times–and man, I have been there and can still be there–sometimes the hardest thing to do is to just DO the work ANYWAY (see the first two years of this blog).

The Chronicles of Girl at Play began in April 2001 as a way for me to chronicle my leaving a successful corporate position to become a self-employed writer.

A few notes about this blog: I don't accept ads or paid endorsements. I only mention people, places, or things that I actually believe in or have great experience with. And I don't accept comments but I do read every non-anonymous email and I write back if I can. I have these 'rules' in place because I believe in sharing information, supporting a community, and being trusted with your time and judgement.

Below are a few book pic's that I've found useful. You can see my entire list on Amazon. Note: if you purchase a book I've recommended on Amazon, there is a very small kick back to me and the money is donated to the amazing charity, Women for Women. But I've only recommended books I've actually read and do love. I don't believe in recommending things otherwise.
