Whenever you have a chance to hear an author speak in person, do it. It is so worth your time, effort, and gasoline. Even if it’s not an author you read, you’ll learn something. I promise.

I tell you about one of my favorite authors and the amazing moment I had with him at a book festival in Vero Beach, Florida.

The book: The Ride of Our Lives: Roadside Lessons of an American Family 

The author: Mike Leonard

The challenge: Travel across the county in two thirty-seven-foot RVs with parents, three adult children, and a daughter-in-law, hang on to your sanity, and make it to Chicago in time for the birth of Mike’s first grandchild and his parents’ first great-grandchild.

Will they make it in time?

Here’s the link where you can watch Mike’s four-part series about their trip for the Today Show.

With all the writing you do, remember, the only way to do this wrong is to not do it at all!
