You’re a Creative Person, Right?

Creative vs. Non-Creative People In which I attempt to answer the question, is there such a thing as a non-creative person?

Journal Writing Morning Routine

Revisiting Morning Pages

Over the last month or so, I've gone back to doing Morning Pages. I started mid-December and have been picking up steam ever since. I've been writing so much in my journal that I began a system of indexing it so I could keep track of everything. Ideas pour from my pen. I figure things […]

It's eight days into the new year and many of us are looking for things. Like ways to be different, to change. New opportunities, new goals.

holidays inspiration

This is a post about cookies. Yes, cookies. Christmas cookies, even!

I was tagged by my purple-haired Twitter friend Kristina Martin (we live across the river from each other but have never met in person–one of these days, I hope we will) to participate in a Virtual Cookie Exchange Blog Hop. My first thought was that I don't do this kind of thing. This is a […]

Wednesday Within: This Will Save Me

I am a woman of great passions. Some of them, like writing and reading, have lasted a lifetime. Others, like gardening or knitting, wax and wane.

Story

Two Aspects of Story Writing

Hilda? Here, for your consideration, two aspects of storytelling. 1. Parsing the story. This is, of course, most often the purview of the rough draft, or shitty first draft, or discovery draft, or whatever you want to call it. Hilda would do. (I think I'll start giving my drafts names.
