Picture it, a week ago: I'm seated at my office desk, so ready for the day to be over. It was Friday, I daydreamed of lazily lounging at home all weekend and wanted nothing more than to be away from people. I was exhausted, cranky, and spent into the negative range of my energy levels. …

When The Writing Muse Is AWOL
Stephen King states that a true writer is one who writes every and each day. He says he considers said writer talented should anyone have ever paid them for their work. So if you receive a check in your mailbox (if that's even how it's done anymore) congrats. Meanwhile, I sit here, writing in a …
You’re So Vain You Probably Think This Character Is You: Writing Enemies In Your Work
We've all experienced amazing friendships. You hang out, you talk not just about every day life but your inner secrets you only trust to them, and you share not just classes, interests but hardships, too. They get into a car accident?

Quills and Quiet
That, my friends, is a hedgehog, an animal I've come to cherish, adore, and relate to on the highest of spiritual levels since obtaining my own as a pet, my prickly pear Stella Luna. Before taking in one as my own, I felt like a hedgehog could easily fit into my collection of totem animals, …

Short Stories Galore
Anne Lamont writes in her how-to-write book, Bird by Bird, (if you haven't read this, find it NOW, one of the most important books I read about writing) that the only thing we can do to write is to get started, no matter how shitty the first draft is, because all first drafts are essentially …
Not a Choice, But a Calling
Good morning, Lovelies, or afternoon/evening, whenever you find it fit to crawl out of bed on a Saturday. Doing a little bit of a mental getaway in the town of Roswell, GA, while the husband is doing a bit of clinic work for his job. Offered for me to keep the car, to go …

The Chaotic Feud Between the Creative Brain and the Logical Brain
Our brains are divided between a creative side and a more logical side. Both are needed, some people use one half much more than the other. For writers, of course, we tend to use the creative side a bit more, especially when we submerse ourselves into writing and logical thinking can set up too many …
