I must confess, it’s been far too long since I’ve written about (or event thought about) my rules. I was reminded of this when I started reading The Artists Way by Julia Cameron… “an international bestseller (that) has inspired millions to overcome the limiting beliefs and fears that can inhibit the creative process”… but this isn’t a book review. This is me re-counting a personal discovery. LESS is MORE, MORE or LESS. Continue reading

NaNoWriMo Taught Me: Their, They’re, There is a Writer in Me
Thank you… for understanding that I had to basically go BLOG-AWOL in November. I needed the time so I could win my first NaNoWriMo Challenge, hammering out 50,000 words in 30 days. Continue reading

We will call her ‘Cee’ because that is her nickname – it both protects her identity and rightfully … Continue reading
Happiness is a Sport
I am struggling with happiness. This is not to say I’m unhappy, but happiness comes in many layers and my own happiness is missing one.
