Writing Practice & Process
Cultivating Your Writing Seeds
How can you create an environment to support and grow your writing ideas? Here’s some advice from my book about how to get started.
Write about Your Aches and Pains
Recently I wrote about my work habits and the pain in my neck. Aches and pains make a great place to start writing!
Instant Results
Why do I have to take breaks? Can’t I hunch over my computer for just one more day and be pain-free? Not even for one more hour? You mean if I want to finish writing my book I have to—gulp—change?
Writing with Courage
Once upon a time there was a girl who thought she could never become a writer. Find out how she broke through this bad spell, and how you can too!
A Pretend Blog Post
If I keep a blog, will I stop keeping my journal? If I don’t write just for myself any more, will I be, like, “cheating” on myself? Is there any chance that I can learn to write in this public form without feeling that I have to floss first? Guess I’ll just have to smile … and pretend.
My Brand New Blog
Do you get inspired by new beginnings? I do. On my blog—my brand new, first-time-ever blog—you’ll find posts about writing and the writing life, interviews with writers, and opportunities and resources to support your writing. I hope you’ll find inspiration, too!
