1. Only Write/Writing Abundance: Just Begin

This is the first post of 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 my post from yesterday. You might also want to read about the Writing Abundance system that this series is going to cover […]

Only Write (Or, Why Wine Tasting Rocks)

A couple days ago, I was sitting in the Amsterdam Coffee House on 13th Street in Paso Robles, California, admiring the red and black decor and staring at the tourists and residents who were getting coffee on a hot Saturday morning. I was also writing in my journal. Or, more to the point, attempting to. […]

Floating

I awoke at 8 this morning. Me, the dedicated early riser. The one who generally springs (okay, it is more like a shuffle) out of bed at 6 AM and starts writing. But this week, after two weddings in the family and a summer's worth of social events, organizing a writing weekend for the program […]

Thus Endeth

My son got married on Saturday. As I've written about quite a bit this summer, this was our second wedding, since my daughter had a rather large renewal ceremony in June. It was the hottest day of the year (98 degrees), and an outside wedding. But despite that, it was a gorgeous evening and a […]

A Newfound Sense of Freedom

My baby boy (6'2", over 200 pounds) is getting married tomorrow. We are fully in the midst of festivities surrounding the nuptials–dinner for 16 here last night, ladies lunch yesterday afternoon, manis and pedis today followed by the rehearsal and the rehearsal dinner…you get the picture. Which is why this blog post will be brief. […]

Supporting Yourself While Writing the Great American Novel

So, you're writing the great american novel. Or memoir. Or screenplay. You know it, but the world doesn't quite yet. So somehow you have to support yourself while you finish it. What to do? Two schools of thought: 1. The best way to support yourself while writing is to take a job completely and totally […]

Seeing Through New Eyes

I've had a friend from Nashville visiting since last Wednesday. She's never been to Oregon before, so I've been showing her around. We drove to the beach for the day, wandered around the Alphabet and the Pearl districts, drove up the Gorge, and visited a variety of my favorite places to eat. She met my […]

Getting Up At 6 AM

Because I'm in the midst of the busiest time of my life, ever, I've actually been setting the alarm and dragging myself out of bed at 6 AM in order to make sure everything gets done. I work at home and can set my own schedule, so most days I allow myself to sleep until […]

The things That Bind You

I dunno. Sometimes, phrases just pop into my head. I think this is a writer thing, but it may happen to everyone, even civilians. The bad phrases pop in and pop back out again, but the good phrases hang around and bother me untile I do something with them. Last week sometime, the things that […]

Scheduling Writing

As I work on my novel rewrite, I keep trying to find the writing schedule that works best for me. To my mind, there are two main ways to fit working on a big writing project into your life: 1. Make time every day. Get up early, stay up late, write during your lunch hour, […]
