November is National Novel Writing Month, during which time participants pledge to write a 50,000 word novel (approximately 175 pages) in 30 days. Skeptical? It can be done! And one of the keys to accomplishing this feat is giving yourself permission to write imperfectly.

Join us Tuesday, October 16^th, as Angel Smits teaches how silencing your inner critic not only increases your productivity, but it can improve the quality of your writing.

A multi-published author with two Harlequin Super Romances to her name, Angel's current release, Seeking Shelter hit the shelves in September 2012. When Harlequin called this time, it was to offer her a six-book series, also for Super Romance, which she happily agreed to write. Previously, she published two paranormal romances with Imajinn Books as well as a number of non-fiction articles.

Angel lives in Colorado Springs with her husband and her daughter. In her spare time...wait, she also works a full time job, so she doesn't have spare time...she attends a regular improv writing group. That's where her muse takes the driver’s seat and leaves the critic inside herself in the dust.
