I am baffled. If writing five novels isn't enough (plus around fifty short stories and articles and five children's books), a writer is told they need to build a platform. A what? Shoes? A stage? I'm struggling. I am told I shouldn't approach an agent or pitch a...

Kombucha. A few months ago, I didn't know what that was. My daughter started brewing her own, so I bought a bottle. Ick. Then I tasted her homemade brew. Ahhh! I begged for a scoby. Or mother. Or starter. I traded my gallon jars for one precious mother. Boom! I was...

I'm finding my way in this writing gig. When I first did NaNoWriMo three years ago, I wrote for hours without a break. Ugh. The first day I wrote 6,000 words was a horrible day. I felt like I had been chopped up in little pieces and pasted back together all WRONG....

Procrastination is my friend today. It's my buddy. My excuse. I will get writing done. I will. Later. Maybe it's the fact that I got out of bed at 5:15 am. It's past nap time, now. I'm learning to find my most productive time of day, and it seems to be about 3pm-10pm....

I didn't produce a thing all day, today. But yesterday … yesterday. I wrote a short story in the morning. It was a blast. Writing isn't always fun, but it can be. And it was. I made a title page for the WIP (work in progress). Done. I began a screenplay based on the...

Part of my New Year devos are Draw the Circle by Mark Batterson. It's the second time I have read through this — both times with an online FB page. Precious time with God. Precious input from other...
