Living Full Out

I like to think I live pretty full out, how about you? As writers and creative types, we tend to live full out because: A. we're used to being fully present while we create, and B. we routinely tap into that which feeds us. Earlier this week, though, I challenged myself to really look at […]

Morning Routine

What’s Right For You is Right For the World

On Monday, this was my morning: I got out of bed feeling cranky and negative. Got my coffee and went to my office, as usual. The computer beckoned, so I went right to it and started in on email. Wasn't time for anything else. I didn't feel like walking. So I didn't. The rest of […]

Creativity Prompts Writing Exercises

Whatever Works

So, we teaching and coaching types love to give advice (except that the true essence of coaching is not so much giving advice as pulling what you yourself already know to be so out of yourself). I, for instance, love to tell people to do Morning Pages. (If you don't know what Morning Pages are, […]

Writing Events

The Wonder of a Writing Retreat

Writing retreats and workshops have been much on my mind lately, for several reasons: 1. I've been running around like a nut job, working on classes, coaching, traveling and other fun things. 2. Among the "other fun things" noted in #1, I've been planning my first week-long retreat/workshop with my biz partner, Debbie Guyol. (Note […]

Clarity

It’s In Deciding

What's one of the most powerful words in the English language? Decide. As in, deciding to do something. With all your heart and soul. And then following through and doing it. No matter what. There's magic in that there action. Deciding and doing it. I bet you've experienced this. I know I have. When I've […]

Fear

Round Two: The Things That Scare You

While I'm in Orlando, at the Suzanne Evans 10K business intensive, I'm posting old posts. This is one of my all time favorites. Jan. 22, 2010 I'm afraid of everything. At least that is how it seems some days. Most days. Most people, looking at me, assume that I'm brimming with self confidence. I travel […]

Writing

Round Two: In Love With the World

I’m in Orlando, at the Suzanne Evans 10K business intensive, and while I’m gone I thought it would be fun to post some oldies. I chose this one because it talks about one of my favorite topics: how writing makes you fall in love with the world. (Note: Suzanne no longer does theta healing, but […]

Writing

Chunking It Down

You know the old question, how do you eat an elephant? And the answer is, one bite at a time. Well, this post is sort of like that. Because we're going to talk, you and I, about how you write, which is somewhat like how you eat an elephant: you write one chunk at a […]

Critiques

Slightly Odd Critiquing Terms

A client mis-interpreted a suggestion I made for her this week, and it got me thinking about some of the critiquing terms I use, which at times are slightly odd. And since this is a blog about writing but most of the time I write about mindset, motivation, and inspiration, I thought it might be […]

Willing to Risk Embarrassment

Last Sunday, my husband and I ushered at church. It was the second time we'd done it, but there's lots to remember (mostly having to do with timing and where to stand and which way to face) and the first time we did it we had someone telling us what to do. This time we […]
