Finding the balance between two very different worlds. Several years back I began to question whether or not to create an alternate nom de plume. Why? Because I was writing from two very different places. Setting aside professional, business work: Fiction When I was nine years old I wrote Wildfire, a 50 page illustrated sci-fi…

YOU Are The Creator
You are the creator of your worlds, whether real or imagined. While this totally applies to fiction, it also applies to real life. But it seldom feels that way. I have been working on an epic sci-fi story for almost 4 years. Up until a few months ago, I didn’t have a title for it….

Planners vs pantsers – what kind of writer are you?
Writing About Mindfulness
This is a wide topic with many possible approaches. When I began to blog regularly seven-and-a-half years ago, I started out with an idea I called Pathwalking.

A recent post on Facebook a friend put up asked us to describe our day job, but make it sound evil. My response? Words must be wrestled into submission. Like a snake in the grass, bad grammar slithers silently through, hoping to slay the otherwise sensible paragraphs. Why yes, I am a content editor in…
To Do or Do Not
