As I mentioned in my previous post, I'm in LA, actually Pasadena, visiting my dear friend Suzanne. I'm working a lot while here, but no matter, I'm somewhere other than my usual here. Last week I was at the Oregon Coast. Now, neither of these short vacations are trips to exotic locales. But they are […]
So, you might be a bit like me (or a lot like me, since you are reading this blog). You might be like me in thinking that this vision board stuff is all well and good when it comes to applying it to a book that you're writing. Because, book writing is a very visual […]
I'm heading to LA tomorrow. Yep. Swimming pools. Movie stars. Just like the Clampetts. Except I'll be working the entire time, attending a two-day business intensive that is part of the Suzanne Evans 10K Coaching Club. Together with 98 other women, I'll be designing a plan for the next stage of my business. Frankly, I'm […]
I'm heading out again first thing tomorrow morning. It is unusual for me to book trips so close together (I got back from Nashville less than a week ago), but it is just the way it worked out this time. Tomorrow's destination is Diamond, Oregon, way over in the southeastern section of the state, a […]
I'm leaving for Nashville tomorrow, and I don't want to go. I do really, because I'm the "book doctor" at Room to Write and there are going to be a dozen fabulous writers there. And I'm going to see lots of friends. Stay on the beautiful Scarritt Bennett campus and then with my friend Candace. […]
I'm just back from a road trip that knocked my socks off. I drove, with two friends, to a remote ranch in southeastern Oregon, near Steens Mountain. (The above photo was taken on the gravel road up to the summit if said mountain. The Aspens were peaking and unbelievably gorgeous.) This part of Oregon is […]
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 […]
Female Nomad and Friends: Tales of Breaking Free and Breaking Bread Around the World by Rita Golden Gelman I leaped at the chance to review this book because I was familiar with Gelman's first book, Tales of a Female Nomad and was happy to hear she'd written another one. To understand the premise of the […]
We went to the beach for a night this past weekend. But it was to a different cabin in a different town than we've ever stayed at before. We traveled down a different highway, went to different beaches, ate at different restaurants, saw different things. All of this was quite by accident, but it was […]
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, […]
