Cultivating the Mental Energy to Write

How does one coddle the mental energy to write? Ah, that is the question, is it not? As I wrote in my post last Thursday, energy for writing is different from energy for other activities, because writing is active and engaged. (As opposed to say, TV watching, which is passive.) And sometimes, in the crush […]

My New Office

Because my loyal readers have listened to me bitch and moan about the ongoing reorganization of my office for the last six months, I promised photos of the lovely new space. I know you've all been holding your breath with anticipation, the way you do when you drive through a tunnel, but now you can […]

The Adorable Purple Sandals

Yesterday I wrote a brief post about my trip to New York and how I bought an adorable pair of purple sandals. Yet I failed to offer up a photo of said adorable purple sandals. So, for those of you interested, check them out in the photo to the right. Cute, huh? And surprisingly comfortable, […]

Five Pairs of Shoes

I'm just off the plane from Manhattan (we got in an hour early–have you ever heard of such a thing?), where I walked so much I went through five pairs of shoes in as many days. Okay, I did buy one pair of adorable purple sandals and wore them all through Chinatown, but considering the […]

20 Aspects to New York City

Early tomorrow morning, I'm heading for New York City. Five plus days in the Big Apple, fun times! Here's the drill: Who'll I'll see 1. My sister, my traveling companion. 2. My niece, student at Tisch NYU, the reason for our visit. 3. My nephew (from a different sister) who I've not seen in years. […]

Clearing Space

I cleaned my closet yesterday. I didn't mean to. I've been working on the endless office project. But because I've been so focused on that, I'd been careless about piling clothes all over the room on the bureau. And so, since I'm going to New York on Wednesday and would soon need to pack, I […]

The Writer’s Imagination Carries Me Away

I like every place I find myself in. Sometimes I like it so much I love it. Let me try to explain. Both of my children are getting married this summer, my daughter and my son. Since I'm hosting the rehearsal dinner for my son, my future daughter-in-law and I have been scouting locations. And […]

Good is Good Enough

I spent yesterday afternoon writing copy for my website. Seeing as how this is a chore that's been hanging over my head for a year, it felt good to finish it. And the way I finished it was to tell myself that good was good enough. It didn't have to be perfect, I told myself. […]

Write Yourself A Mantra

Do you obsess? I obsess. What do I obsess about? Well, let me list the topics: weight loss body image, earning money, my novel, getting an agent, relationships, working harder, working less, focus, the price of tea in China…you get the drift. Pretty much everything. When I obsess, my mind runs away from me. That […]
