If life were predictable it would cease to be life, and be without flavor. Eleanor Roosevelt I have this behavior where if there’s an event/appointment coming up, I can’t do much of anything until it comes. It can feel exhausting sometimes. Fortunately, the day has finally arrived so now I can stop waiting. My lifeContinue reading “Waiting Period”

Just Get It Done
I got to spend a big chunk of the day getting my handwritten edits onto my word doc. I also added a new scene that lit my fire. I have been forgetting a lot lately to have fun with my writing. What made me think of that at all was a conversation with writer, KentContinue reading “Just Get It Done”
Ovid’s Writing Life
One of my most favorite poets is Ovid. He was born into a prestigious family who expected him to be a lawyer or official. What intrigues me most about him is that he stepped away from all that and write poetry. He was hailed one of the greatest poets of his generation. What’s wild isContinue reading “Ovid’s Writing Life”
To Share the Draft or Not to Share?
“Don’t wait for things to be perfect before you share them with others. Show early and show often. It’ll be pretty when we get there, but it won’t be pretty along the way.” Ed Catmull, Creativity, Inc This makes me feel like I should be sharing my novel with someone. I don’t mind sharing early atContinue reading “To Share the Draft or Not to Share?”

Heart Song
I admire her persistence and oh, how her howling soothes like the thumping inside my womb those vibrating drums birthed from her mouth I admire her persistence how these beats stretch across her howl The night twinkles bare, bare, bare, with dull blood Dance in her womb, crawl on your knees, eyes shut A mighty handContinue reading “Heart Song”
Letting Go
I don’t want to wait till things fall apart to let go. I’d rather maintain what I have by letting go of what I can’t control. It can be challenging but I enjoy the process of developing something, (especially with a team). “Let the beat in your heartlift you to the skies“
Shame
You can’t live in shame from your mistakes. Forgive yourself, learn from your mistake, and do better next time. Those words, no matter how true that are, don’t make the shame go away, don’t make you forgive yourself, and don’t make you do better next time. What really does help though, is connecting with othersContinue reading “Shame”
