Inspiration Friday

I'm starting a new feature today. It is "Inspiration Friday," and because I am a right-brained creature through and through and I will get bored if I allow myself only one thing to post about, it is going to be a mish-mash. A mish-mash with a common theme–something that has inspired me the previous week. […]

What a Writer Does: Shawn Mullins 2.0

Yesterday, I wrote about attending a private performance by Shawn Mullins. I wrote about how, at every concert that means anything to me, at some point early on I get a thrill through the very core of me that means I'm connecting to the music in a profound way. That thrill is the same impulse […]

What A Writer Does: Shawn Mullins Private Performance

Monday, I got an email. I and a guest were invited to a private show at the KINK Bing Live Performance Lounge. I'd actually forgotten that I'd signed up for the chance to get invited to concerts at the lounge, but was thrilled to take part of Tuesday afternoon off and drive downtown to see […]

WTD: Win The Day

After a very long and torturous journey involving a four-hour drive and then an endless plane ride (but at least I didn't get stuck overnight in Houston) I made it home at 11 PM Friday night, which was 2 AM in the time zone I left that morning. Fortunately, this was just in time to […]

This is Why We Do It

I'm staying on top of a hill at a resort in Gatlinburg. And when I say hill, I mean hill. You could, perhaps, even call it a small mountain. Well, if you were familiar with western mountain ranges like the Rockies or the Cascades you probably wouldn't, but here you could. Also when I say […]

Never Let Me Go

I've been asked to write a promotional post about a new movie, which is just gaining wide release in theaters this week. It is called Never Let Me Go, and is a film based on the acclaimed novel of the same name by Kazuo Ishiguro. The movie is directed by Mark Romanek and stars Keira […]

A Novel-Writing Vision Board

I'm in the midst of a marketing program given by Christine Kane, and she talks some in it about vision boards. A blog post that she did on creating vision boards comes up first when you do a google search for the words, which is some strong google juju, let me tell you. So […]

Stranded, or Withholding Judgment

Currently, I am temporarily residing in the lovely and fast-growing city of Murfreesboro, Tennessee, home of Middle Tennessee State University, which is the home of the writing program I co-direct, the Writer's Loft. (Our fall workshops and orientation are next week and there are still a few spots left. You can come on Friday for […]

Only Write/Writing Abundance

4. Only Write/Writing Abundance, Connecting

Fourth in a projected very long series and future info product whose name is still under consideration (hence the dual titles above). For background on what's going on, read this post. You might also want to read about the Writing Abundance system that this series is going to cover in depth. You can do that […]

The Voice

Over the last few months, I've been thinking a lot about what Geneen Roth calls The Voice. No, this is not voice in the way we usually talk about it in literature, as in that special, sometimes elusive thing we writers are all seeking. It is the critical, harping, nagging, unpleasant voice that tells us […]
