It's Mercury Retrograde until November 10th–that wonderful time when computers and phones go wacky, travel plans go awry, and the technology gods sit back and laugh at us. And yet, it is also a time for re-orienting yourself, when any and everything that starts with the prefix "re" is good to focus on. So, reconnecting […]
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 […]
This is the second 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 Monday. You might also want to read about the Writing Abundance system that this series is going to cover […]
This is going to be a short post today (I know what you're thinking–ha! when has she ever managed to write a short post?) because, ta-da, my office furniture is assembled (thanks to my long-suffering husband) and I want to spend time moving myself back in.

Here's the paradox: the more you are yourself, the more people will beat a path to your door. And yet we all struggle, at one time or another to be ourselves. Crazy, huh? I've been thinking and writing a lot about this lately. I'm working on a new free guide to replace the current somewhat […]
I've been at a writing retreat all weekend. It was at Scarritt Bennett, a center in the middle of the labyrinth that hosts programs on diversity, women's empowerment, and spirituality. (That's a photo of the labyrinth at Scarritt Bennett to the right, though I focused more on the blooming Redbud and Dogwood trees when I […]
It's Friday again! This is going to be a brief post, because I am in Nashville. However, I couldn't leave you to your weekend without another installment of festive Fridays, now, could I? In case you have forgotten, we're designing a crazy dance party for either you or your characters. You can read the original […]
…for other people to figure out what it is that we writers do? Yesterday, a member of my family (who, for the record, I absolutely adore) was talking about people working, people who are retired, and me, about whom he said, "whatever it is that you do." I just laughed because I get this so […]
