I’m back from Ireland and now the reality that my book launch is only ten days away is sending my mind reeling. I feel like there are so many things I should be doing to get ready but at the same time I don’t know what that might be. I thought maybe it would help…

I have been moving through the journey of The Art of Intuitive Structure by Sage Adderly in a book club that she is hosting. This week we read chapter five, which is about listening to your intuition. We were asked to do a five- to ten-minute brain dump relating to the project or book we…

My husband has been taking classes at a local comedy club for the last year and a half. He’s taken every improv class they have and their humorous storytelling class. The only thing he hasn’t done is Stand Up. He has even gone on to be a part of a troop and performs for paying…

Gosh. Wouldn’t it be great if I could say I’d sat on a beach in the sun, reading and relaxing with a refreshing beverage in my hand? Sadly, that is not my life. What would my life be without hectic schedules and stress? Okay, so the summer is more than half over. And all I’ve…

I’ve written on my story 9 days in a row. I haven’t written a LOT each day, but at least I’ve written something. I was planning to write this morning between dropping the kids off at school and going to water aerobics, but for some reason I’m just not feeling it. I think maybe my…

I went to water aerobics this morning. It was a little easier to show up, but I was still a bit nervous. Thankfully the lady that had been there last time that has only been one more time than me was there. So we both took the same spots as last time. The woman that…

Another week has gone by and I’m proud to say I’ve been writing quite a bit. I’ve written memories for a possible memoir (or just for healing) and I’ve written a bit for the fiction piece I came up with. I am trying to just let whatever comes to me pour out onto the page…

in Body Doubling, journaling, writing

One strategy I’ve found that has been helpful to get writing done is to set a timer and write until it goes off. Even better if someone else is writing too. I discovered this tool when I was writing for NaNoWriMo back in 2020. I was in a Discord group with others from my area…

Today is the day of the week that I want to focus on fiction. Ideally I’d like to be writing fiction. But I’m feeling stuck. I don’t have any ideas at the moment. I started something last week, which was loosely based on me, but I’m not sure where to go with it or even…
