I've been writing a series of posts on what I learned at the Writer's Loft last weekend. You can find the links for Part One and Part Two at the end of this post, or just click on the highlighted words. Today's post is about the lecture that one of our favorite mentors, David Pierce, […]
I'm in the Denver airport and I've been thinking about the post I wrote yesterday about traveling, a writer's travels to be exact. In retrospect, I realized I wanted to write a paragraph about what I missed when I travel, but I didn't. Why? Because I was rushed and had a million things to finish […]
I'm leaving again tomorrow, this time for Nashville. I travel a lot, sometimes a lot lot. The last six months I have traveled a lot lot. In August I was in LA, September in Nashville, October in New Mexico (a real vacation, who knew people did that?), November in LA again and December in Nashville. […]
Moge! Moge, I don't have a website address for you, so I hope you see this, because you have won a free manuscript evaluation. Yay! Email me and we'll get plans for sending me the manuscript set up. Thank you all so much for participating in the survey, your answers were really helpful!
I'm re-reading Richard Goodman's book, The Soul of Creative Writing. I'm reading the book because I'm going to interview Richard next Saturday morning, as part of his appearance at the Writer's Loft, so it is something that I had to do. And now I'm glad I followed my instincts and told my partner Terry that […]
Yesterday, based on a workshop I'm going to be presenting next week in Nashville, I wrote a post on The Benefits of Writing. So today's topic is the opposite–the benefits of not writing every day. Here's the deal: there are none. Kidding! Well, sort of. Everyone is different and needs to find a process that […]
I've been working, the last few days, on writing the workshop I'll be giving in Nashville next weekend. I base this workshop on my Writing Abundance: Seven Practices of the Prolific and Prosperous Writer system. Each one I do focuses on several different practices, so I always end up going back over the whole thing. […]
As we start off this wonderful new year (I'm optimistic, aren't I?) I would like to find out more about what you like and dislike about this blog. I'm curious to know why you read it and what you get out of it, as well as a bit about how your read it. So, I've […]
I recently found a pillow I made ten years ago, when I attended Creativity Camp led by Julia Cameron, author of the Artist's Way (as if you didn't know that). The camp was great, life-changing, really, particularly in that I met a couple of people who I remain friends with to this day. The way […]
This morning I was making soup to take to a celebration (which turned into a wake) to watch the Ducks play in the Rose Bowl, and I thought, Maybe I'll become a cook." You know, it's a new year, why not go for a whole new career? I could totally do it, especially if I turned […]
