2022-08-04 Exploring the Writing Woes (again) Despite Everything Going My Way
Yup.. It’s been about a month–over four weeks–since the last time I wrote anything. That’s something that has not happened in a very long time. It could mean one of three things: Life is going really great and I have zero complaints, problems, grievances, or irritations. Life is so busy and or rotten that I’m…

2022-07-05 Welcome to July and the Conclusion to “Who Cares”
Well, friends… we’ve delicately tip-toed into July and are officially in the second half of 2022. Here’s what I know on this fine Tuesday (that feels like a Monday) after the long holiday weekend. 4th of July was ok, but I’m so over the fireworks? I thought the economy was hurting?

2022-06-28 A Day In The Life
Today’s experiment, after waking up at 4 AM and only four hours of sleep (I was revising poems till midnight), is data mining a “day in the life.” It’s a little research project I dreamed up after having not just one or two run-ins with my errant brain and its memory flaws, but a whole…

2022-06-16 #1000WordsOfSummer Day 13: Changing the Answer ✍🏻
As I near the end of this two-week writing experiment I recognize that much of what I have written (the new stuff anyway) has been blog posts. In the beginning, I had this blog down as an option if I got stuck or didn’t want to work on some other project on my list. But…

2022-06-15 #1000WordsOfSummer Day 12:Part Two ✍️
This is really just a continuation of what came before. Something of the fleeting notion of free writing, and channeling the spirit of a young girl who teetered between not having a care in the world and carrying the weight of the world on her shoulders. For her, the world in 1984 consisted of a…

2022-06-15 #1000WordsOfSummer Day 12: Just a Girl and Her Notebook ✍🏻
Today’s craft talk newsletter was inspiring. The guest writer waxed on about another writer who wrote with joy for writing and, as it seems, a zest for life itself. Its aim was to remind us that we sometimes have to get away from the notion that writing is grueling work. Let’s be honest, it can…
