Mindset of the Wealthy Writer

I was going to write about plotting versus pantsing this morning, but then the idea for this post grabbed hold of me and wouldn't let go. So here we are….(and look for the other post later this week). Let me be clear at the outset. I'm not wealthy, at least as far as finances go. […]

Writing Habits

10 Ways To Return to Writing Regularly

True confession: I haven't been writing. Okay, that's not exactly true. I've been writing blog posts, guest posts, interviews and comments on my client's work. I've been writing in my journal every morning. But I haven't been writing writing. I haven't been working on my WIP. Until this week. In my case, I had a […]

Guest Post

An Interview You Can Hear

I've got another interview for you today. It is at my friend Patty Bechtold's blog, Living Deep Studio. I'm not exactly sure how I stumbled upon Patty–or maybe she stumbled upon me–but I am so glad I did. Patty brings a deep and gentle respect for self-development and creativity to all her work. And this […]

10 Ways to Ground Yourself for Writing

This has been an exciting week for me, what with the release of my debut novel, Emma Jean's Bad Behavior. I've been consciously working on staying open to receive the blessings of this event. I must admit, though, at times I've felt myself flying high, as if I'm no longer anchored to the earth. Or […]

Ideas

Where Do Ideas Come From?

I've been doing some interviews (I'll have links soon–like tomorrow soon)for the release of Emma Jean, and one of the things that comes up is how I got the idea for the novel. I always have to stop and think about this because there's not one clear light bulb moment. It was more like an […]

One Technique for Overcoming Writer’s Block

Ah, our old friend writer's block. It can take so many shapes and sizes, just like fear, which it is, of course, based on. And just as writer's block can take a gazillion different forms, so, too, can its cure. Which is why you should try a variety of strategies if you are hit with […]

Novel Writing

When A Character Morphs

The protagonist in my WIP just morphed. When I started writing her, she was one way and now suddenly she's another. (With the demands of launching my novel, I haven't had the time to actually put these changes into effect, but I've taken lots of notes. And I think about it all the time.) It's […]

Travel Writing Events

Freelance Writing, A New Publishing Model, and Haiku (Or, What I Learned in Nashville)

Yesterday I wrote a post about my adventures in Nashville. Today, I'm writing about what you really want to know more on, some of the writing activities I partook of. Wait, that's a poorly constructed sentence, with that dangling participle. Today, I'm writing about the writing activities about which you want to learn more. Technically […]

Chronicling

Never Be Average

One of the jobs of the writer, as I see it, is to be a chronicler of events and people. We are here to tell the tale to others. To witness and write about it, whether what we witness is something small or something big. What I have to witness today is the passing of […]

Writing Process

Advent for Writers

For as long as I can remember, December has been a creative time for me. This used to puzzle me. Why would the darkest time of the year be a rich, fertile period? For so many, the gloomy short days are depressing and anything but creative. Wouldn't it make more sense for my wildly creative […]
