I have, as always, a multitude of pithy thoughts on the subject of writing to share with you, but all I lack is the time to sit down and write them out. (I'm telling you, I need an Iphone, then I could share a post from where-ever I happened to find myself.) I've been out […]
I wrote about Collecting as Fertilizer a couple days ago, the idea being that collecting is the antidote for facing a blank page. In that post, I focused mainly on the benefits of keeping a writer's journal and noting descriptions, dialogue, or anything you might want to later remember or expound on. But there are […]
…and more books, delivered right to my door. In the Proof There is a God Department, I recently got on the press release list of a PR firms that deals with authors, or at least their press releases. The press releases come directly to my inbox, and here's the clincher–at the bottom of the release […]
I'm working on a workshop called Writing Abundance that I'll be presenting in September at the Path and Pen conference in Nashville. It's also going to be an E-book, for sale on this very site. Conveniently enough, all the elements of writing abundance fall into categories that all start with C. How cool is that? […]
My niece graduated from high school last night. She is a dancer and she's been a member of an amazing local high school dance troupe for the past four years. Read about them here and here.

I know, big whoop. People all over the planet see movies every day. But not me. For some reason, I've not been to the movies in ages. Which is surprising when you consider that I love going to the movies. I love nearly everything about it, from watching a film with a crowd of people […]
I was reading back through some old posts on John Chow and found one wherein he describes a fellow Canadian blogger asking for a new Mac. She just asked. And someone sent her one. So, for the record, there are two things I really, really want. An Iphone and a Kindle. Just in case someone […]
Well, the end of Memorial Day weekend is upon us and mine has been a relaxing one, as you might have noticed given the lack of blog posts. I actually went away for part of the weekend and did not take my computer with me. I know, hard to believe. And I only prevailed upon […]
Honest, I’m getting back to writing soon. But c’mon, huge cause for celebration–David Cook won American Idol last night! By 12 million votes! This gives me faith in America. Perhaps even enough faith to start to hope that we might even elect Obama come November. I think the judges actually did David Cook a favor […]
