Read MoreWrite With Me Day #30 Write or Die!
For the month of November 2017 I took on a personal challenge to post a facebook live event on my facebook page. What a fun time! It was terrifying, hilarious, filled with so many surprises. The overall theme was how to break through resistance when it comes to writing. I use the book War of Art to guide myself and my audience through the process of what it takes to sit down and write everyday.

The main concern of most writers is this: “I don’t have time,” or “I don’t know how to make the time.” Stay...
Read More3 Ways to Get Out of A Rut and Write
Being stalled as a writer happens to the best of us, from best selling authors, to poets, to journaling, to first time bloggers. The day seems to always come when a writer sits down to write and suddenly nothing happens, nada, just panic and silence. For some people this kind of stuckness gets masked by active procrastination. For instance the previous sentence was written at 7am. It is now eleven-thirty.
