It Ain’t Just a River in Egypt

May 18, 2021 by cynthiarogan 4 Comments

Several years ago, I wrote a short story called “One Last Time” about a young woman who couldn’t seem to stop lying. Whenever she lied, she promised herself it would be the last time—that she would always tell the truth going forward. But if someone asked her a question, she couldn’t seem to resist the urge to fabricate a life she wished was really hers using a story she made … [Read more...] about It Ain’t Just a River in Egypt

Trusting Your Instincts

Between work, trying to market Symphony of Dreams, helping a friend with his manuscript, working on a solo-performance, and trying to get The Courier ready for publication, I lost "something." First, my sense of humor seemed to vanish (except at … [Read more...] about Too busy to breathe

Marketing, Schmarketing

July 16, 2012 by cynthiarogan 1 Comment

So I say to myself, "Now, Cynthia. How hard can it be to get a little attention for your book? I mean Symphony of Dreams is a great story. The people who've read it, love it. You love it. And we've all been in Symphony's position at one time or another. So . . . readers identify with it." I take a break from the build-up talk because the phone rings and/or I get a text … [Read more...] about Marketing, Schmarketing
