It has been a shamefully long time since I have written much of anything, and particularly since I have written here. Shameful mostly to myself, because writing is such an integral part of my being. Yet whenever I need to do it the most, I stop. You see, this particular holiday season has found me [...]

The other day, Logan brought home a journal he made at school. I had to laugh at the cover, where Logan had spelled his middle name, as he does with every word he doesn’t know how to spell, phonetically. No comment on the misspelled last name.(He and I have been over it many times.) As [...]

I haven’t blogged for a reeeaaalllllyyyy long time. Which, I guess, duh, you’ve probably noticed, if you’re a regular reader. My dear friend, Amy, a freelance writer who is currently fighting her second battle with breast cancer and has a gorgeously-written blog on the subject, It’s in the Genes, once told me that she gets [...]

Today is the last day of the Blogathon. I don’t want to have a boring recap, but I do want to reflect on the biggest lesson I learned this time around. Being forced to blog every day, even though it was self-induced, definitely stifles my creativity. A few times, I’ve written about unimportant and/or uninteresting [...]

I just logged in to start writing today’s post when I saw that the post I wrote and thought I published yesterday was still in draft mode, meaning I didn’t publish it at all. So, I went ahead and back-dated it to yesterday, since that’s when it was supposed to go live, and am hoping [...]

Well, not so much burn-out as just plain not having enough time. I’ve thought of subjects galore on which to blog, but have had neither time nor energy to get it done. I have giveaways to hold, stories to relate, input to receive, pearls of wisdom to impart, and I will. Eventually. Some time. Because [...]

Call me crazy, as I already have plenty of other new projects, but I signed up to do the annual WordCount Blogathon again this year. The Blogathon runs from May 1-31 and consists of freelance writers and bloggers from all walks of life. Our mission is to post every single day in the month of [...]

OK, so thanks to Matt, the extremely nice owner of Fibers.com, I get to create my very own shirt and do a review and giveaway on my blog after I receive it. The problem is, I’ve collected so many cool/wise/humorous/insightful sayings over time (all to do with writing) that I can’t decide what to put [...]

One of my New Year’s resolutions for 2010 is to be more honest and personal in my blogging. There are several subjects I’ve been wanting to tackle that are going to require depth, courage and exposing some of my most raw feelings. While this is daunting for several reasons, I’m generally a very open person, [...]

I’m on The Writer’s [Inner] Journey today! The author, Meredith Resnick, wrote this: In honor of back to school I asked five of the writers I greatly admire to weigh in. With a very loose hat tip to the wonderful Raymond Carver–I wanted to know what these writers talk about when they talk about back [...]
