While She Was Out

I grew up partially in my Dad's printing plant. One of the many things I loved about that was hanging out in the front office, which was cleaner and more organized than the rest of the shop, but not by much. And one of the best things about the office was the office supplies. I […]

Five Things on Friday Travel

5 Things on Friday: Feeling Frazzled Edition

Why I'm Frazzled: BECAUSE I'M LEAVING FOR EUROPE ON TUESDAY. That's why. What I'm Reading: Same thing I was reading last week, The Surrender Experiment, by Michael Singer. I'm about 10 pages from the end, and was going to finish it at lunchtime but then the phone rang and I got distracted. But, for your […]

Distraction Travel

How to Write While Traveling (Or Otherwise Distracted): 7 Strategies

The best travel journal ever I am distracted. My thoughts, I will admit, are on Europe these days. Because, I WILL BE THERE IN LESS THAN TWO WEEKS. So I am distracted. And when I am there I will be distracted. (Because, Barcelona, people. Paris. Collioure.) And yet, I am still doing my best […]

Travel Writing Writing Process

Are You a Right-Brain or Left-Brain Dominant Writer?

A Stack 'O Writing Books I learned a different way of looking at my writing this weekend, a way that I think will help inform how I plan and plot a novel. (One of the things I love best about writing is that there's always something new to learn. It's impossible to be bored by […]

From Spark to Story Workshop Report

Scarritt Bennett Center I am back from Nashville, y'all. I went there to teach a workshop with my good writing friend Terry Price. We called it From Spark to Story, and planned it to be just that: a journey from gathering inspiration, to getting it onto the page, to shaping it into a story. […]

Amp Up Your Writing With A Travel Mindset

I'm in Nashville this week, teaching a workshop called From Spark to Story, with my dear, wonderful friend Terry Price. I used to come to Nashville at least twice a year, sometimes more often, in order to teach at the Writer's Loft, (now called Write. ) But lately the orientations have fallen at the same […]

Wednesday Again

It's Wednesday again, in case you hadn't noticed. And this is the day I devote to a personal post not related to writing. Or the day I try to devote to a post not related to writing. It seems like somehow or another everything links back to writing for me. But anyway…. At this very […]

Soaking It In

As you may have noticed, things have been a bit quiet around here. I've been in France, as some readers know. France, people! Two weeks in the south and several days in Paris. And I have been soaking it all in. So much so that my brain feels ready to explode and I can't wait […]

Character Travel

Writing in France (Or Anywhere)

Bon jour. I am in Pezenas, France, down near Montpelier and Beziers (where we stayed Friday night and had an experience on the free bus trying to find our hotel that still makes me laugh out loud every time I think of it). We–six of us–are staying in a house that could more accurately be called […]
