We Write When We Are Safe
While I don't advise everyone to track their daily word count, for me it has been enlightening. With the exception of the times when I take a deliberate break from writing, such as what I'm doing the rest of this month to catch up on to do list things, it is a pretty easy way to t

Why You Can’t “Work Through” ADHD, Anxiety, Depression, etc.
A couple of weeks ago I received a newsletter from a BNA (Big Name Author), you know the kind who sells courses for $497 (or more!) who promise to tell you all the secrets to being a successful author(

Selling Systems vs. Creating Systems (of Creative Care)
I subscribe to a lot of newsletters, in part because a lot of individuals are doing some amazing things within the writing community. It's innovative; it's interesting, and as someone who has been both on the publisher and on the au

Books, Lies, and Black Friday
My inbox started to fill on Monday with the Black Friday sales. Today, I had to laugh when I got an email from a company that said it was the "last days" to buy something at 50% off, because you know what? They sent an email last week that said it was my

Connection Between Yoga and Writing
The more I write and pay attention to my own creative nervous system and mental health, the more I realize that stress and the outside world, including the emotional toll it takes, plays a large role in how much I write, what I write, and when I write. This week is a great example. I've bee

Sampling The Buffet of Creativity and Writing
Writing to me is more than putting words on the page. When I sit down to tell stories, I'm writing from the heart, from worlds that I want to live in and explore (unicorns!), and often from my most sacred ideals and beliefs. It's why I'm so focused on the cr

When Mental Health Triggers Collide With Your Writing
As writers we can choose what we write and when we write. So it seems a bit odd that we would write something that triggers our mental health if we didn't want to. And yet, that's exactly what happens when life, publishing circumstances, or even the prose itself, comes up against ou

Disarming the “Not Enough” Trap
There's a common thread that runs through the disappointment that comes with low sales or publisher and agent rejections. When you submit a proposal for a conference and it doesn't get accepted or when you submit a resume for a job and you don't get hired, this same insidious phrase oft
