First of all, can you believe it is the middle of January already? Geesh, time flies. I guess being out of town the first week of the month made it fly all the faster. By the way, my wise meditation teacher has a theory on why we think that time goes faster as we age: […]
After an absence of, oh a couple weeks, here I am, back with another Five on Friday. That is if I can find the notes I wrote once I got inspired about this post. Ah, here we are. I’ve got piles of papers all over my office because I’m organizing things for the new year. […]
It's another Five Things on Friday post. Admit it, you woke up this morning just dying to hop on over here and read the latest one. Well, here it is. What I'm Reading: Still working on a couple of books from last week, including Leaving Time. Don't tell them, but its due today at the […]
Step Out of Your Story: Writing Exercises to Reframe and Transform Your Life by Kim Schneiderman Once again, the wonderful folks at New World Library have offered me a book to review.

And I figure you might get a few ideas from my list. Here goes: Fiction Crossing on the Paris by Dana Gynther. (See bonus author video […]
I started this series of posts at the end of January with a blog post titled, Books I Read in January. And I fully intended to do one post a month. But then my life blew up, I got an agent, and I needed to turn my attention to rewriting my book. So my blog […]
(Yes, I know–I promised Part Two of the Care and Tending of Writers. It is all written in my journal, I just need to get it up on the computer. That will happen next week. Promise, and my fingers aren't crossed behind my back, either.) Today I'm starting a new series on the books I've […]
