I have a kick-ass post on letting go and how difficult and necessary it is. But you'll note I'm not posted it today. That's because I'm participating in the Stop SOPA strike. I'm not technically advanced enough to figure out how to black out my site, but this way you get the benefit of learning […]
Merry Christmas, or Happy Holidays, whichever you prefer. I have to admit I'm stumped. I want to write a heartfelt, heartwarming, heart full Christmas message to you, one that's not corny and cliched. And I'm not sure I can. Because Christmas is all about corny (like the wonderfully tacky Night Before Christmas clock that chimes […]
So sorry to have left you all hanging on Wednesday after my last post about my daughter being in labor, but having a baby is serious business that takes the intense concentration of many people, (most notably the Mom) and there hasn't been time to write until now. My beautiful grandson, Henry Rains Hopman, arrived […]
I've been working on a blog post this morning, but won't have time to post it. My daughter is in labor and I'm heading to the hospital. Think good thoughts and send prayers, please!

Thank you all so much for your wonderful comments, emails, thoughts, and prayers for my son. He had surgery this morning to clean out the area of the cat bite down to the bone and repair the tendons. That seemed to be necessary to get the infection out once and for all. So, at long […]
Work details are a rich vein to mine to help you write a book, and this counts for both fiction and non-fiction. The other day I wrote a post in honor of Labor Day called Is it Work or is it Love? Making the point, I hope, that when you're doing what you love, you […]
"Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life." Confucius Do you hate your job, or do you love it? Loaded question, eh? Because I know lots of people who hate their jobs. Hate, hate, hate them. And I know plenty of people (often creative types) who […]
I can’t say enough about Charlotte Dixon’s coaching abilities and style. My inner editor, that pesky little voice, was interfering with my ability to draft anything. I thought it was normal–until I talked to Charlotte. During a fifteen-minute session, she talked me through several exercises. One of them hit the jackpot! Among the wonderful suggestions […]
Last Sunday, my husband and I ushered at church. It was the second time we'd done it, but there's lots to remember (mostly having to do with timing and where to stand and which way to face) and the first time we did it we had someone telling us what to do. This time we […]
