Write Everywhere

This is the second week! Maybe you’ve gotten ahead of the word count goal, that’s great! Maybe you have not! That’s perfectly fine! Do something with me. Stop writing. Stop thinking about the word count. Breathe in deep. Hold it. Hold it. Breathe out. Relax the face and the shoulders. Take another deep breath. Let’s be honest, life is very hostile to novel writing.

Like a Child

My summers as a child were spent in my friend’s tree, every stick a weapon, every branch a new adventure.

The Other Side of Fear

I was listening to podcasts at work on Tuesday. It was a fairly typical day; emails needed answering; phone calls required my attention; TPS reports needed doing. Then like a bolt lightning, the host of the show I was listening too utterly shattered my concentration. I scrubbed the play head back. What did she just say? It was a quote from George Addair “Everything you’ve… →

A Thank You

The things that inspire us are where our dreams first get their spark. Be it a blinding flash of inspiration or a long slow building of ideas, our dreams take form from depths of our passions and loves. This month I will talk about some of the ways I am inspired. Where my stories and ideas come from is not just a single source but… →
