Live Your Dream
The first full work week of 2020 is almost history. I don’t know what it is about the turn of the calendar…or maybe it’s being inside during cold weather, but I always seem to get lots done on my to do list. The Plotting Boot Camp begin on Monday and I have to say it’s…
I thought I’d share with you my writing and teaching plans for the new year… I’ve decided that 2020 will be the last year I offer my coaching and mentoring service. Not that I don’t love helping aspiring authors with their writing, but combine that with teaching, and I’m word fatigued at the end of…
One week into NaNoWriMo and how are things going? The winner of my e-book giveaway is Josie who e-mailed me along with lots of other people. It was enlightening reading about your writing struggles and many of you face the same issues. At the top of that list was time management and motivation. Two topics…

Weatherwise, not a great start to October. First two adjectives which come to mind, overcast and dreary which usually doesn’t bother me but for some reason, I’m ready to see the sun again. (I also have lots of outside chores to do too!) I’ve had four days off from teaching but I’ve kept busy with planning out upcoming classes, books,…
The This Writer’s Life community is now 800 followers strong and still counting. Remember my goal is to reach 1,000 by the end of the year. We have three months to go so spread the word because I have lots planned for 2020 and beyond. I love it when I get ahead with my to…
It’s almost fall but this week it’s felt like summer. Hot, humid, and air conditioning time again. The leaves are falling and piling up. There’s something about raking them when it’s hot that feels strange to me. Years ago, it used to be chilly and you’d want to head indoors for something hot. How things…
Today, the short story boot camp came to an end and I have a week off from teaching before the final leg of the year kicks off. Here’s the link to the two classes I’m teaching next month just in case anyone’s interested. One is a plotting your novel boot camp, and the other one,…
