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”
Inspired Writer
You should write because you love the shape of stories and sentences and the creation of different words on a page. Writing comes from reading, and reading is the finest teacher of how to write. Annie Proulx I needed this reminder today. I forget how much I loved experimenting with phonetic sounds, words, dark andContinue reading “Inspired Writer”
Intuitive Mind
The Intuitive mind is a sacred gift and the rational mind is a faithful servant. We have created a society that honors the servant and has forgotten the gift. Albert Einstein Taken from Trust and Inspire by Stephen M.R. Covey Intuitive minds are sacred and the rational part of our minds are meant to serve?Continue reading “Intuitive Mind”
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”

Who, Why, What
To keep heading down the path toward freedom to be heard, I wanted to talk about an important question you need to ask yourself. “Who am I?” One of the most important questions we can ask ourselves as artists. This really is the bedrock of our creations. This is where writing is transformed from mimicryContinue reading “Who, Why, What”
Freedom to Be Heard
Why does being heard and understood feel so good? When we are forced into situations that consistently silence our thoughts and feelings, it makes us wonder if we bring any value into the world. In turn, that leads us to wonder if we are valuable at all. Let’s put an end to that question rightContinue reading “Freedom to Be Heard”
Mother’s Day
This morning was rough for me. I lost my Nanny, (my mom’s mom) years ago. I’ve always gotten both my mom and grandmother stuff for Mother’s Day. I was missing my gram a lot this morning. The one thing that really got me through the morning was that I have my own routine to prepareContinue reading “Mother’s Day”
