This month I’m participating in the A to Z Challenge, blogging every day of the month of April, except Sundays, on a topic from A to Z. I’m posting short-form topics meant to get you talking and sharing! Join the discussion in the comments. The word I was originally going to use for the letter…
I’m diving in to something a little different for the month of April, and I’m hoping you’ll join me. Instead of your regularly scheduled Tuesday Truths videos and Thursday written long-form posts, I’m going to post short-form content every day of April except Sundays, as part of the A to Z Blogging Challenge. Each day’s…

I have a confession to make: I’m a barefoot runner. I understand if that makes you think I’m some kind of granola eating, dreadlock- and tie-dye wearing, crunchy green hippie earth mama, but I’m really not.

It lays flat for easy writing, drawing, painting, mixed media collaging, etc. Do something amazing with it and…

According to her, they generally look at her like she’s crazy — quite rightly, I think. But she uses this question to open up a different point, one that I think is valid. Via Big Magic…
Writers often answer the question “Why do you write?” with “Because I have to.” I get that. If I go too many days without writing, I become cranky and snappish and uncomfortable with myself. No one wants to live with me in that state, not even me. Best if I sequester myself in a quiet warm…
