Enough

This Is It, This Is Enough, Right Now

Back in March, I wrote a post titled Enough, which explored all the various permutations of accepting that we all have enough for whatever we need. Yesterday, in my travels around the internet, I landed on Marie Forleo's site. She's got a fabulous video up, part of her Q and A series, that answers the […]

Energy

Do You Lack Writing Time or Writing Energy?

Time. It's elusive, isn't it? Weird how in the same amount of hours on one day you get a ton done and the next day you fritter it away. Time is either the writer's friend, or the bane of her existence, more often the latter. Nearly every client and student I coach struggles with […]

Ideas

7 Ways to Find Ideas

How do you get ideas? Do you struggle to find them, or do they come to you in an endless flow that is frustrating only because you can't act on all of them? Although most creative types fall into the latter category, I think if we're honest we'll also admit that there are fallow times […]

Prompts

Promptitude: Wide Open Spaces

I just got back from visiting southeastern Oregon. The east side of Oregon is totally different from the west side of Oregon, where I, and most of the state's population, lives.

It is unusual for me to book trips so close together (I got back from Nashville less than a week ago), but it is just the way it worked out this time.

Prompts

Promptitude: Rain

It has been raining here forever. Worst spring in ages. It is not for me to complain, however, because when I was in Nashville last weekend, the temperatures hit 90 degrees. And the sun shone nearly every day I was there. Plus, bad storms hit the day before I arrived and a few days after […]

Community Retreats

Writers Connecting

I have been away, not only from my home, but from my writing. At least, I've been away from the writing writing part of writing, the actual putting words on paper part. But I've been doing a couple other activities of vital importance, the first being brainstorming and planning and the second being connecting with […]
