My book review of The Third Step by William Lobb, a deep, difficult story about a man named Frankie and his journey to find faith and freedom from his inner demons.
My review of Michael Hoard’s The Adventures of Nick and Billy: The Mystery of the Rougarou: a fun, face-paced adventure set in the swamps of South Louisiana. It follows the mis-adventure of two young boys whose love for exploration leads them on a journey through the wilderness where they face not only the dangers of nature, but the darkness of humankind.*
Every once in awhile you pick up a book that refuses to let you put it down. New World Rising by Jennifer Wilson is that book.

For me, I’ve done a little deviation from your good advice: as a rule, i don’t outline in the normal sense of the word. I normally outline on the fly, but I also write a bullet point outline. I don’t edit as I write (too time consuming)
As for practicing, I did the bulk of my practicing by blog writing for the past 10 years. I also had a short story blog for awhile, which I managed to get good writing advice from other writers.
