As you might have guessed, I am home from France. Jet lag has not been terrible this time. We got home Tuesday evening and as I write this on Friday, I’m feeling pretty good. Which gives me time to dig into all the things that got put on hold while I was gone. And, boy, […]
(While I’m away teaching in France for the month, I’m running a few favorite newsletters from last year. We will be back to regular, new programming the first week in October. Meanwhile, if you want to come to France with me next year, click here for a look at this year’s program.) When first I […]
Well, howdy. It’s been awhile since I’ve done a Five on Friday, mainly because I’ve been busy doing stuff but no particular things stand out, if you know what I mean. But since I know you’re just dying for an update (ha, like you don’t have five million things going on yourself), here goes: What […]
I kind of love the word miscellany, whose official definition according to the Google is ” a group or collection of different items, a mixture.” It sounds charming and old-school and like it would be said by a schoolmarm wearing a Little House on the Prairie outfit.

I grew up partially in my Dad's printing plant. One of the many things I loved about that was hanging out in the front office, which was cleaner and more organized than the rest of the shop, but not by much. And one of the best things about the office was the office supplies. I […]
Why I'm Frazzled: BECAUSE I'M LEAVING FOR EUROPE ON TUESDAY. That's why. What I'm Reading: Same thing I was reading last week, The Surrender Experiment, by Michael Singer. I'm about 10 pages from the end, and was going to finish it at lunchtime but then the phone rang and I got distracted. But, for your […]
I saw a sunset just like this one! Where I've Been: I kinda fell down on posting at the end of last week (no 5 on Friday post) and the beginning of this week. That's because I was at the beach. I stayed with my family at my daughter's in-law's house in Garibaldi (thank you, […]

I’m beyond excited to be returning to France to co-lead another workshop/retreat. We’ll spend a week in Pezenas, a lively city in the south of France, where we will write, eat French cheese and chocolate croissants, drink good wine and write some more. Interested in joining us? We’d love to have you, but spaces are […]
When I was working on my recent workshop for The Writer's Loft, I had a brilliant realization. There's writing. And then there's writing around. So you don't think I'm the densest writer on the planet, I've known this forever, but haven't known known it, if you get my drift. Writing around is something I've always […]
