Writers, What Would You Do? Broken Appointments

I’m going through one of those periods that astrologers lay off to mars in retrograde… lots of smallish things going wrong, and a couple of larger ones too. I won’t go into all the details, but I’m also having trouble with a clients, and I’d like your advice.
The first is a smallish contract for a […]

I’m A Morning Writer - Are You?

I don’t remember when getting up early in the morning started to work for me. It certainly wasn’t when I was a teenager! As a new mother, I remember being sure I wouldn’t get a chance to sleep in until the twins were in their 20s. Maybe it was years and years later, when I […]

Keeping It Simple

Someone asked me the other day if I didn’t feel like the world was speeding up even more. I was surprised when I realized that I haven’t been having that “I’m going to fast and so’s the world” feeling as often as I used to, and I wondered why. I think the reasons are probably:

Keeping Track Of Paper

Back when I had a studio, I was drowning in paper. Guess what? Now that I’m in a two-bedroom, with one bedroom as my office, the problem hasn’t gone away… it’s just spread out more.
Back at the studio, I worked with Jennifer Hofmann of MyOrganizedBiz and Inspired Home Office She helped me solve multiple […]

Are you afraid to get your book written? That’s such a rude question! Yet I find probably one out of every four or five people who contact me about getting a book written are actually so afraid of the project it never happens.

What Set of Keystrokes Closes Firefox?

D**n! It happened again. I had almost completed a post here and did something funny on the keyboard and wham! It’s all gone! Okay, I know. Most would tell me I shouldn’t draft directly in WordPress, but I do because it’s fast. At least it’s fast if I don’t lose the post. And sure, I […]

Will The Money Follow If You Do What You Love?

We all want to do the kind of work we love and be able to make a living at it. Books like this one certainly promote the idea that it’s possible, and, in my experience, it is… except… when I come from fear. I spent years being afraid I couldn’t make enough money; that’s what […]

Getting The Most From Firefox For Writers

I don’t know about you, but I’ve been using Firefox as my browser for years. I don’t much like the way Bill Gates and Microsoft ran Netscape out of business by bundling Internet Explorer way back when and I always tend to favor the underdog. Of course, Firefox is hardly an underdog, but…
