Writers, What’s On Your Christmas List This Year? 25 Items to Add

And now, suddenly it is Christmas. I'm not complaining–I love this time of year. Love, love, love it. (And, weather gods, I'd love it even more if we got some snow this winter. Just sayin.) It just seems like only yesterday was Halloween. And Thanksgiving, as always, is gone in a flash of turkey […]

Procrastination

Procrastinating on Your Writing? Try This

I'm all over Steve Chandler these days. I have no idea where I first heard of him, but I've been reading his book on time management, Time Warrior, and I've learned a lot. Since I subscribed to his newsletter, I also got a free PDF (which I sent to my Ipad to be read on […]

How To Not Get Writing Done

The other day I was looking for something on my computer. (I spend a fair amount of time doing this. I probably need to get my files a bit better organized.) And I ran across an old guest post I wrote a few years ago, the title of which was something to the effect of, […]

Writing Process

10,000 words in a Day? Impossible!

By guest blogger Milli Thornton 10,000 words in a day? Impossible! That's what I said in 2006 when my friend Jenny Turner asked me to do a "10K Day." To be accurate, I didn't say it was impossible for Jenny. I already knew she could do it. I said it was impossible for me. I […]

Revisiting Writing Abundance: 7 Practices of the Prolific and Prosperous Writer

It's Mercury Retrograde until November 10th–that wonderful time when computers and phones go wacky, travel plans go awry, and the technology gods sit back and laugh at us. And yet, it is also a time for re-orienting yourself, when any and everything that starts with the prefix "re" is good to focus on. So, reconnecting […]

Creativity

My Tabs

I'm not really sure what this has to do with writing, probably nothing, though perhaps we could say it has a lot to do with creativity. Yes, that's the ticket. It's all about the creativity. For some reason today, I got an idea to write about my tabs. You know, the ones that you keep […]

You have two more days to write character dossiers, descriptions of locations, and figure out the plot. The rules of Nanowrimo state that you can do as much prep work as you like, so long as you don’t begin the actual writing of the novel until November 1.

How to Go Places That Scare You In Your Writing

The Halloween spirit is in full swing at my house and all around the city. I love decorating for Halloween, though I don't go nearly as all out as some of the places I see which feature scarecrows and witches and ghouls rising from tombstones. Love it all!

The Radical Act of Play

I'm reading two books about writing at the moment, and together they are making my head explode. In a good way. It's exploding with ideas. The first one is called Wonderbook, and it is by Jeff Vandermeer. I'm only at the very beginning of this baby, having just gotten hold of it last week. This […]
