Over the last month or so, I've gone back to doing Morning Pages. I started mid-December and have been picking up steam ever since. I've been writing so much in my journal that I began a system of indexing it so I could keep track of everything. Ideas pour from my pen. I figure things […]
Here is the latest collection of posts from my Tumblr blog. There's more prompts here. And you can download a whole book of them here. Oh yeah, and there's one less prompt than usual because last Sunday we drove to Seattle and back (eight hours total in the car) to attend the 100th birthday party […]
It's eight days into the new year and many of us are looking for things. Like ways to be different, to change. New opportunities, new goals. And maybe some of you out there are looking for your writer's voice. Whenever I think about the writer's voice, I think about an old children's book called Are […]
Hey, we made it to 2015! Woot woot! I know its going to be a great year because New Year's day was the best first day of the year ever around here. I got some work done on my novel rewrite in the morning, watched the Ducks annihilate the FSU Seminoles in the afternoon, and […]
Here we are again, having survived (I hope) Christmas 2014. Maybe you're like me and still a bit foggy from so much going on and, oh yeah, the sugar content of every single thing we eat this time of year. Maybe, like me, you're feeling a bit disconnected from your writing. If not, more power […]
I was tagged by my purple-haired Twitter friend Kristina Martin (we live across the river from each other but have never met in person–one of these days, I hope we will) to participate in a Virtual Cookie Exchange Blog Hop. My first thought was that I don't do this kind of thing. This is a […]
Christmas is in two weeks. Urp. How did that happen? So, here's my list of suggested Christmas gifts for the writers in your life. Or for the person who needs to buy a gift for the writer in their life. If you're like me, you'll offer your significant other a long tiny list of suggestions. […]
Often sometimes I obsess about stupid things. Like what top to buy, or if I should take a certain class, or how to totally and completely change my life. This doesn't sound so bad, but I swear at times it clogs up my whole mind and my brain gets stuck thinking about this stupid stuff. […]
Good morning. It's 6:35 AM and I should be writing. My main character, though, is in the middle of a somewhat dicey scene during which she not only sees an unpleasant side of her love interest but she must also confront him about it. And I don't do confrontation well. So I thought I'd leave […]
Here's the latest collection of prompts from my Tumblr blog. You will note that a couple are missing. That's because I was forgot so busy. You can also find more here. #131 "Oh God, I’m so overwhelmed, things are slipping through the cracks and I’m missing appointments," she said. "Get yourself organized, then," he said, reasonably […]
