Finding Your Prompt
When you’re having writer’s block or under a deadline, do you have encouraging phrases to help get yourself started? I had to laugh at myself before I sat down to write because one of my phrases is, “Let it fly.” I’ve heard this from other speakers, or similar wording by other entrepreneurs in their bookContinue reading “Finding Your Prompt”
Trusting Your Talent
My body and mind are still recovering this morning from my walk into a fantasy world this weekend filled with dragons and fairy houses as I get ready for my featured artist spot in July and August.

Deadlines and Roses

Both women were needed to give birth toContinue reading “Happy Mother’s Day!”
Ideas for Promoting Your Book
Over the past few months, the designer in me went crazy. Instead of creating one journal, I created a few more. My normal breaks from writing turned into a funnel of resource journals for writers, gardeners, and food lovers. I’m in love with art, design, and writing down your thoughts no matter what your passionContinue reading “Ideas for Promoting Your Book”
Friday Road Trip
Friday is here and I’m excited! My spring fever is finally going to be fed! It’s, Friday the 9th and I am on a location road trip for one of the novels that I’ve been blogging about for the past year. My small, Northern Minnesotan town is going to fill with imaginary werewolves. I’m offContinue reading “Friday Road Trip”

A writer today has options when it comes to publishing their books. We all have the dream of seeing our names on Best Seller lists and royalty checks.
