Fear

Round Two: The Things That Scare You

While I'm in Orlando, at the Suzanne Evans 10K business intensive, I'm posting old posts. This is one of my all time favorites. Jan. 22, 2010 I'm afraid of everything. At least that is how it seems some days. Most days. Most people, looking at me, assume that I'm brimming with self confidence. I travel […]

Round Two: In Love With the World

I’m in Orlando, at the Suzanne Evans 10K business intensive, and while I’m gone I thought it would be fun to post some oldies. I chose this one because it talks about one of my favorite topics: how writing makes you fall in love with the world. (Note: Suzanne no longer does theta healing, but […]

Prompts

Promptitude: Summer Vacation

Alas, I have been alarmingly somewhat remiss in my project of providing you with prompts. But seeing as how I'll be on a plane to Orlando tomorrow (for the Suzanne Evans 10K Coaching Club business intensive) I thought I might extract some summer vacation type prompts from my fertile brain. Even though I'll be working, […]

Chunking It Down

You know the old question, how do you eat an elephant? And the answer is, one bite at a time. Well, this post is sort of like that. Because we're going to talk, you and I, about how you write, which is somewhat like how you eat an elephant: you write one chunk at a […]

Critiques

Slightly Odd Critiquing Terms

A client mis-interpreted a suggestion I made for her this week, and it got me thinking about some of the critiquing terms I use, which at times are slightly odd. And since this is a blog about writing but most of the time I write about mindset, motivation, and inspiration, I thought it might be […]

Willing to Risk Embarrassment

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 […]

But I Can’t Be Happy

Does this ever happen to you? Suddenly and wonderfully, for no known reason, you feel a flash of happiness, or a rush of sudden joy. Ah, glory. You stop to revel in it. And then… Up pops that voice. The one that whispers: Yes, but… Yes, but, remember? I can't be happy! Why? I can't […]

Clearing

The Mental Cleanse For Writers (And Others!)

Seems like every other person I meet these days is doing a cleanse. I get it. Stuff gets stuck in your digestive passages and other organs and affects you in negative ways. You don't have as much pep, or as they used to call it, get up and go. You feel a bit blah and […]

Enough

The Art of Being Enough, Writer’s Edition

One of my favorite current spiritual messages is: you are enough. Or, to put it more personally, I am enough. I've written about this before (actually twice, here and here,) but it is important enough (there's that word again) to write about it again. Because, as a writer, it is hard not to constantly question […]

Coaching Packages

You have a passionate idea. And a plan to turn that passionate idea into a published piece. Maybe a book? An article? How about a blog? Your passionate idea burns like an unquenchable fire within. You want to write so badly you can taste it. You want to share your thoughts with the world. Except, […]
