Do you write?
If you are an author you need an editor. As indie authors my husband and I rely heavily on a good editor. Just read over my posts that I have edited myself…see? Told you. We writers have this illusion that we can write and edit our own work. Maybe some writers are that good. Most…

Day 60
Be brave. When you think you just can’t do that thing you must do, call on all the courage you have and get it done. Ask yourself, is it the right thing to do? Yes? Good. What’s the worst thing that could happen? Maybe you fail, so what you’ve failed before and come back better.…

Day 15
Halfway through January and people are still whining about last year. In the words of the famous snow princess, let it go. There is nothing a human can do about last year. Unless you have a time machine, leave last year alone. Stop picking it back up. Don’t look backwards, you are not going that…

Out of Office
How many times a week do I sit down and my writing muse does not show up to play? Let us just say several. No matter what you do creatively if inspiration doesn’t strike you, leave it alone. Walk away. Sometimes an idea will hit you when you are thinking about something else. Don’t get…

I Choose Peace
We are mistaken when we think our happiness and our peace will come from an external source. Your happiness and peace come from your soul. Yes external things can distract you from your peace. The problem isn’t that things prevent peace or take it away. When you move your focus from peace to the external…

I Got Nothing
I have nothing to say today. I guess that in itself says a lot. It’s days like this that I just stay quiet. Seems these days are multiplying. Don’t misunderstand, I’m not depressed. I’m happy and at peace. This peaceful mood I’m in is also quiet and thoughtless because my mind is at peace. First…
