Don't Get Derailed

Hi Today’s newsletter is short because my writing day got superceded by an emergency room visit with a loved one. Sometimes life happens and you can’t make your commitments or goals. That’s okay. It is important to give ourselves grace when events out of our control impact our creative life. Next time you don’t meet a deadline because of an emergency, take a breath, set the next goal and keep going. Don’t let the unexpected derail you. Computers for WritersI got a new computer – a Surface! I work outside the office three times a week and travel with my computer so the most important thing for me is weight followed by battery life. The Suface is the lightest (under the pounds) and has the longest battery (20 hours) PC. I think getting a new computer is Christmas for writers!

Hi Reader, Because your project won’t finish itself—no matter how many videos you like about high protein diets and baby goats. Let’s be honest. Some days, writing sounds about as appealing as cleaning your fridge. You could work on your novel or screenplay… or you could binge another episode of that true crime show. And hey, I get it. Writing is amazing… once you’re in it. But the getting-started part? The “open the laptop, resist TikTok, put words on a page” part? That’s the real villain of...
Hi Reader, This weekend I went with my sister to pick her new Lexus. Getting a new car is always a big deal and the Lexus dealership made it into a bigger deal. They had her car in its own showroom with a giant big bow on top. So fun! Who knew those big bows existed outside of TV commercials? This is stellar customer service. Lexus realized that getting a new car is worth celebrating and made it into an event. What does this have to do with writing life? A lot! As a writer, you don't just...
Hi Reader, Today I'm reminding you to stay curious, enthusiastic, and open because you never know when inspiration will strike. Sometimes the simplest things spark an idea. This past weekend at a family brunch, we got on the subject of everyone's favorite flavor of cobbler, which led to my brother introducing us to the song Peaches by the 90s band The Presidents of the United States of America. It's an entire song about how wonderful peaches are and how the singer dreams of moving to the...
