Writers are often asked, "How do you come up with your story ideas?" And for those who don't write, or who are just starting out, coming up with enough ideas to carry you through a life-long career, much less ideas that follow a standard story structure and resonate with readers, might seem like an impossible task. But I'm here to show you (both writers and non-writers) that it's not as hard as you might think. For example, my husband is actually a very creative person. He really ... View Post

The New Year Part 3: Big Goals for 2017
So here at last, toward the end of January, we get into the nitty gritty of the New Year.

The New Year Part 1: 2016 Made Me a Better Person
Part 1: Goodnight, 2016: My year in reflection Many people have declared 2016 awful and deplorable, and generally everyone seems to be very glad for the arrival of a fresh start. Despite the fact that the idea of a "new year" is entirely arbitrary, and entirely something we human beings fabricated for our own purposes, it does do just that: it serves its purpose. Mentally, the rollover of our arbitrary calendar year always seems to refresh and enliven us. The enthusiasm and gusto everyone has ... View Post
NaNoWriMo 2016: How I Survived the November from Hell
2016 was my 5th consecutive year of participating in National Novel Writing Month. (Wow! Time flies when you're having fun!) Beginning in October, as it has been every year since my first NaNo, I started getting very inspired. I really, really love the fall season for writing. Probably conditioned by my years NaNo-ing, as soon as the pumpkin spice flavor hits everything and anything, my brain and body go into full on "noveling" mode. So, naturally, I was beyond excited for NaNoWriMo Day #1 to ... View Post
