      This challenge has shown me that, if nothing else, I need to seriously rearrange my schedule. When I’m supposed to be focused on client work I’m thinking about my fiction, but as of this point in time, my fiction isn’t buying me a cup of coffee, let alone paying any bills. Sigh. So of…

    In the home stretch now…you’d think I’d be on it, but…er…no. One good thing about this challenge is that I’m remembering to come back here and write, so that’s a good thing. I envision the sad reality that I may need to carve out some time this weekend if I’m ever going to get more…

    This is part of a story that I began but haven’t finished yet. I’m a discovery writer so I have no clue where it’s going, but I’m looking forward to finding out. Curious if anyone else ever did this…but when I was a kid, I would sneak a read at the last part of a…

    Okay…let’s be real here…day 2 doesn’t look too much better than day 1. Sigh. But…at least I remembered to write something! I’ve actually got quite a lot to say about topics such as history, our current “leaders”, and a whole lot more, but I’ll keep it simple and ask a question… “Why do people think…

      Today marks day one of The Write Practice’s 7 Day Writing Challenge. The idea is to simply write. In your journal…on your story…whatever it is you want to (or have time to) write, just write! Or in the immortal words of some copywriter for Nike “Just Do It!” So…here I am…writing. I’ve never been…

    Whew…bit dusty ’round these parts! Sorry about that, dear blog… I’ve been so focused on my copywriting that my little blog gets the short end of the stick. Trying to remedy that, but need to come up with an editorial calendar to help me with writing topics (I’ve got so many thoughts and ideas flying…

    I’ve had enough of navel-gazing for a while… In fact, I’m quite sick of it. I’m still struggling with building up my copywriting business, still getting paid less than what I should be (my fault) and fighting the urge to give up. (Of course, there is the old monthly emotional roller-coaster thing that doesn’t help!)…

    I’ve toyed with the idea a few times of just dropping this blog. It’s sitting here…a testament to yet another thing I’ve started, but not finished…ugh! Consistency is not my forte’…at least when it comes to doing stuff for myself. I have finished my AWAI (American Writers & Artists, Inc.) copywriting course, got AWAI verified,…

    I was reading an interesting article this morning about the authenticity of the Shroud of Turin. Unless you’ve been living in a remote cave somewhere you’ve probably heard of the linen cloth that is supposed to be Jesus’ burial cloth. What made me go “hmm, that’s neat” was the following: Going to Pilate, he asked…

    What had started in a moment of frustration led to a long string of bad decisions. At least, that’s what my attorney was going to say. I didn’t really care what he was going to say but was glad that I’d get out faster than if I hadn’t agreed to the plea bargain. They don’t…
