Getting back on the “goal-horse”

Getting back on the “goal-horse”

Before I jump into talking about getting back with your goals after already feeling like a failure, two things. (1) Over the weekend I just happened to figure out how to enable for you to sign up to receive posts via email. I youtube-ed it and smacked my forehead at the easiness of it. So be sure to sign up….

Writing Goals Not Resolutions

Writing Goals Not Resolutions

I am not a big “New Years Resolution” person. I try to be, but I always feel that I set myself up for failure more than anything. Goals, however. That’s my thang. I remember dad teaching the importance of goals growing up. While I can’t exactly remember what he said I do know that he was always letting us know… Read More

Evernote for Novel Organization

Evernote for Novel Organization

For the longest (and I mean longest) time I bucked change and wrote in one big long word doc. While that works for some people, I work with two other brains (aka my writer’s group) when brainstorming (or when they are tearing apart my current WIP (love you, guys!) and everything got referenced and I was scrolling back and forth… Read More

Making Time To Write

Making Time To Write

So I’m reading this book (I know. . . big surprise right?) Pen on Fire: A Busy Woman’s Guide to Igniting the Writer Within. So far I’m liking it, like a ton. There are lots of different writing exercises at the end of each short chapter, and for once I’m actually doing the exercises (most of them anyways). One of the… Read More

Getting Pumped

Getting Pumped

I love writing. I especially love when I’m over-the-moon-excited about writing whatever WIP I’m working on. I know that during the writing process you can’t always stay excited (I’m not that naive — just this week I was so tired I looked at my computer screen and said “Psh, it’ll be there tomorrow” and went to bed) I also have… Read More

That was twelve years ago... and I almost listened That was twelve years ago... and I almost listened. 

I’m really glad I didn’t. To be honest, this person wasn’t wrong. At the time I wasn’t very good at writing. It was early on in my career. Hearing that I should give up was a punch to my gut and I had two choices. 

I could listen, and not write ever again.

OR

I could buckle down and get better. 

I chose to get better. I still don’t think I’ve “arrived” but I am a lot better than I was then. 

So this is me telling you — don’t ever stop dreaming, don’t ever stop learning, and don’t take bad advice. 

You got this. I’m cheering for you.
