Daniel and I want to start a blog/vlog/Instagram/Facebook for our RV life. But coming up with a catchy name is a challenge. At least for me. I’ve NEVER been good at titles. Never. So that’s where you come in, my friends. Over on my personal Facebook page I asked for ideas for a name. I’m… Continue reading What’s in a Name

My Life Pie
A group of writer friends and I are working through Julia Cameron’s The Artist’s Way. It’s an interesting book and a worthwhile study for me. I do like how she sees creativity as a spiritual path. In this week’s homework, Ms. Cameron has us draw a life pie. It works like this-draw a circle and… Continue reading My Life Pie

#2017WritingGoals
So my personal goals are set for the year. But my writing goals have been in limbo. Until Thursday night, anyway. During my somewhat weekly writing meeting with Kaye I pretty much defined my #2017WritingGoal: I want to have a submission ready manuscript in one year. Big freaking goal. Gulp. Double gulp. But, when I break… Continue reading #2017WritingGoals
Neil Gaiman and a Year of Mistakes
So, I’m participating in a life coaching program called Creative Alchemy Passion Plan by Kathy Kawalec, who is, oddly enough, a dog trainer. She participates in open level sheepdog trials with her border collies. Today, one of the members of the group posted a quote attributed to Neil Gaiman. I found his original post here.… Continue reading Neil Gaiman and a Year of Mistakes
Start Where You Are
Blogging seems to be my nemesis. Not sure why. But I’m picking back up where I left off. Just wish I could do that with the story I was working on in July. Frankly, it’s a mess. Really. A hot, stinking mess. I don’t even want to look at the file, let alone open it.… Continue reading Start Where You Are
Sunday Round Up and Goals for Next Week
Last week was mostly a bust. At least after Wednesday. I did meet my word count goal of 4k words by bedtime Tuesday. I actually had over 5k! I did blog three days. But on the work out front? Big old fail. I did do my back PT exercises one day and about five minutes… Continue reading Sunday Round Up and Goals for Next Week
March Goals: Week One Follow Up or Where Am I?
Even though it ‘s not a full week into March, I’m going to do my first week follow up today. Sunday will be a day of reflection and follow up as far as my writing goals are concerned. So how did I do? Over all, pretty good. I’m satisfied with my progress in a way… Continue reading March Goals: Week One Follow Up or Where Am I?
Things I Learned During the #LeapAheadWritingMarathon
In February I joined my friend, Kaye Dacus, in a writing marathon. Kaye set up the marathon to focus more on developing commitment to writing rather than setting a word count goal alone. With great enthusiasm, I joined in the fun. Along the way I (re) learned some things about myself and my approach to… Continue reading Things I Learned During the #LeapAheadWritingMarathon
If I Knew I Could Not Fail
In working through a creative business planner and productivity workbook to try to get me on track for 2016, this question was in the first chapter: If I knew I could not fail, I would… The exercise is to then answer that question honestly. It’s a great exercise. I can see how it could free… Continue reading If I Knew I Could Not Fail
