Otherwhere: Unusual Monday Edition

It has been a good week for interesting links around the web, and I have saved several in my travels. As regular readers know, I usually do this post on Saturday. But this week on Saturday, I was co-leading a workshop called The Ins and Outs of Publishing, which was held at an awesome bookstore, […]

Otherwhere: Grateful It’s Over

Yeah, so I know I wrote a whole post about being grateful and I am, truly and all. But today, two days after I wore myself out cooking for 14 people and a baby, I have one more thing to be grateful about–and that is that Thanksgiving is over. At about noon on Thursday, after […]

Gratitude, Schmatitude: Writers, Let’s Complain Instead

Today is Thanksgiving day in the United States. For those of you living in other parts of the world, our Thanksgiving is a day to feast and be grateful (never mind that it is slowly getting co-opted by big box stores trying to sell Christmas stuff early). It began waaaay back in the day, when […]

Otherwhere: November 21

It is a sunny but very cold Saturday here, and I’m holed up inside trying to finish up my NaNoWriMo word count for the day before I start in on yet more cleaning in anticipation of hosting Thanksgiving. But, as always, or at least for the last two weeks, I have saved up a lot […]

Five on Friday: This Day is Unfortunately Living Up To Its Name

Took awhile for it to register that it is actually Friday the 13th. I always choose to think of it as lucky day, but today has been anything but. The attacks in Paris destroy me and now there’s been an earthquake off the coast of Japan. But I guess the rest of us have to […]

Writers: Step Away From Your Computer*

Yeah, I know. It’s November and you’re holed up in your writing cave. Because, NaNoWriMo. You’ve got words to write! 50,000 of them, to be exact! And even if you’re not participating in that NaNo thing, you’re doing your best to get tons of words on the page every day because that’s what we writers […]

Otherwhere: S*&^ Happens Edition

I started this new blog series a little over a week ago, on Halloween, with the intention to publish a new post every Saturday. And, well, as the title says, s%# happened over the weekend. Like Wordstock, for instance, our local book and author fair (more on that in a post later this week). And […]

Five on Friday: Everything New

Hola! Its a beautiful Friday afternoon in Portland, Oregon, and I am posting the very first post on my new blog. Well, its not exactly new–just the design and the host (WordPress instead of Typepad). So, there’s a bit of a learning curve here and I’ll be playing around the next few weeks. But seeing […]

From the Archives: 10 Foundational Writing Practices

While I'm writing and teaching in France, enjoy this post from January, 2014: My church is currently featuring a series on foundational spiritual practices and as I listened to our minister a couple of Sundays ago, I started thinking (as always) about writing. What, I wondered, would I consider to be foundational writing practices? I pondered and made notes […]
