When You’re Distracted From Your Writing

Last week was tough: the bombing in Boston, explosion in Texas, the shootout and manhunt for the Boston suspects, earthquake in China, on and on. I was horrified, and spent much of my day sending prayers and good thoughts to all those affected–and I was riveted to the news. Some people turn off the TV […]

Why Connection is Important to Writers and Others

So it turns out that connection is way more crazy important than we might have thought. This probably doesn't come as a huge surprise to writers. After all, communication is inherent in connection, and we're all about communication. It's why we blog. It's why we write novels. It's why we read the writing of others. […]

Novel Writing

This Series on Writing Fast Will Blow Your Creative Mind–and Inspire You

This morning, thanks to Karen Woodward, I was introduced to a series on ghostwriting a novel in 10 days by Dean Wesley Smith. Yes, I said 10 days. As in, writing a full, complete novel in 10 days. Dean Wesley Smith is ghosting a novel contracted by a major publisher for an author who is […]

Do You Need to Return to the Basics in Your Writing?

After all the hoopla over the publication of Emma Jean, (which really is ongoing, I'm just still getting used to it being a part of my life) I returned to my WIP with great joy. Nothing makes me happier than working regularly on fiction. I may have mentioned this once or twice over the course […]

How to Make Yourself Feel Better When The Writing (or your Life) is Not Going Well

We've all been there. (Some of us are there much more than others.) The miserable writing session when the idea won't come, when no words appear on the page, when nothing works, no matter how hard you try. It sucks. And just as a gloriously wonderful writing session can make the world glow with a […]

Mindset

Mindset of the Wealthy Writer

I was going to write about plotting versus pantsing this morning, but then the idea for this post grabbed hold of me and wouldn't let go. So here we are….(and look for the other post later this week). Let me be clear at the outset. I'm not wealthy, at least as far as finances go. […]

10 Ways To Return to Writing Regularly

True confession: I haven't been writing. Okay, that's not exactly true. I've been writing blog posts, guest posts, interviews and comments on my client's work. I've been writing in my journal every morning. But I haven't been writing writing. I haven't been working on my WIP. Until this week. In my case, I had a […]

An Interview You Can Hear

I've got another interview for you today. It is at my friend Patty Bechtold's blog, Living Deep Studio. I'm not exactly sure how I stumbled upon Patty–or maybe she stumbled upon me–but I am so glad I did. Patty brings a deep and gentle respect for self-development and creativity to all her work. And this […]

As The Hoopla Winds Down

I owe you guys a blog post. I've been guest posting and interviewing all around the internet (thank you, everyone) and, indeed, I have one more interview coming up on Tuesday, one I'm very excited about. But in the hoopla around my book release I've not spent a lot of time, here, at home base, […]

Thinking Writing Process

Greater Thoughts About Writing

I've been thinking a lot about the novel I'm writing lately. Thinking, not writing, because with the demands of the Emma Jean book release and attendant promotion, there's not been a lot of time to write. I knew this going in and decided to give myself a free pass on working on the novel this […]
