Spring is definitely in the air (unless you live in the southern hemisphere or in a part of the world where it snowed this past weekend...but most of us have seen signs of spring). While fall will always be my favorite season, spring is another … [Continue reading]
Writing Day and Night
I've finished most of my big writing projects late at night or early in the morning after an all-nighter. Despite all that, I'm a morning person. I finished the best thing I've ever written last summer in the late afternoon/early evening when I … [Continue reading]

Monday Motivation: Fear and Excitement
I like speaking before groups of people even though it terrifies me. I've written about my first experience as a street performing juggler before (and the fears I overcame to finally go before hundreds of people and do my thing). When I train … [Continue reading]

Dyslexic Writers Unite!
Yes, I had to triple check the headline to be sure I didn't pull the old "untie" gag. Paul Lamb recently shared this post about being a dyslexic writer. I've corresponded with CMStewart about her problems with numbers. I've met many dyslexic … [Continue reading]
Monday Motivation – Moving Forward (With Writing)
Three weeks ago -- after being laid off twice in less than a year and a run at freelance technical writing and editing -- I've returned to a day job. (Writing procedures for a large finance company.) Looking back on the past year and then some, … [Continue reading]
