Sunday Afternoon Style

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 […]

The Benefits of Not Writing Daily

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 […]

The Benefits of Writing Daily

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.

Out With the Old I rearranged my living room yesterday to take better advantage of the gas fire we had installed before Christmas. Rearranging feels like getting stagnant energy out of all the corners and this is the perfect time to do it. I'm doing it with my writing, too….

Process or Product?

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 […]

It Always Comes Down to Writing

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 […]

Writing Accomplishments for 2009

It is the second to last day of the year, and a fitting time to mull your accomplishments in writing over the past year. So have at it, what were they? I want to hear the big, the small, the in-between, all of 'em. Fork them over, lay them down, share them for all to […]

When Is A Food Journal Not For Your Diet?

Well, after a brief break for Christmas and sloth, it is time, finally, to resume my series on journal writing with a final flourish. It is a flourish because what I'm going to discuss is my current favorite type of journal writing, though I reserve the right to have a different favorite next month, because, […]
