As you are reading this, I'll in in LA. Not lounging by the pool, even though I am staying in Santa Monica. No, I'm at the first Suzanne Evans 10K Coaching Club Intensive, working my little tail off to come up with new and wonderful ways to serve my clients and readers. Yes, you. And […]
After a brief break last week because I was off doing a VIP day, Promptitude is back. For those of you who are not familiar with it, every Saturday I post prompts on whatever topic suits my whim. You can read more about the process here, and find a list of all the Promptitudes so […]
I just got back from visiting southeastern Oregon. The east side of Oregon is totally different from the west side of Oregon, where I, and most of the state's population, lives. The east side is basin and range, gold and brown, mesas, cattle, warm, dry, long stretches of wide open spaces. The west side is […]
It has been raining here forever. Worst spring in ages. It is not for me to complain, however, because when I was in Nashville last weekend, the temperatures hit 90 degrees. And the sun shone nearly every day I was there. Plus, bad storms hit the day before I arrived and a few days after […]
Tomorrow is the new moon. Yesterday we had our first 60 degree day here in Portland (it actually hit 68). Spring officially began a couple of weeks ago. New life, new energy and new excitement is blossoming everywhere. Time for some creative writing prompts that focus on the new. The thing that I love about […]
At the beginning of this week, I wrote about fear. As I've progressed through the week, feeling much better about life, I've also been reading SARK's latest book, Glad No Matter What. She writes about a process for clearing out fear and other nasty emotions that plague us. First you write a Mad page (or […]
In case you haven't heard, tonight we're having a super moon. There's all kinds of craziness going on around this phenomenon, but basically the earth's orbit is the closest its been to the moon in 18 years. I'm a moon baby, born under the sign of Cancer, and I've always felt the ebb and flow […]
A friend wrote and told me she seems to be surrounded with people who are having their own personal earthquakes and tsunamis. I, appparently am no different. So if you are not in the mood for a short, downer post, click away now. I'll forgive you. I was going to do a prompt this week […]
This is post #2 on those little devils, prompts. (Read post #1 here.) Question: what makes a good prompt? Answer: whatever gets you writing. When you're a writer, its all in service to the writing. If you have a choice between doing almost anything and writing, you'll choose writing. If you have a limited time […]
Promptitude: How Webster's defines it: The quality or habit of being prompt, promptness. How I define it: The habit of using prompts to inspire your writing. Prompts. Quit your sneering right now. Yes, I know that you have a love-hate relationship with them. I do, too. Yes, I also know that sometimes writing to prompts […]
