This blog is 10 years old this month. Who knew?? I didn’t even realize it until yesterday. I was reading through the archives of a blog I just discovered. The author’s archives went back to 2012. It made me wonder how far mine went back, so I checked. And lo and behold, February of … Continue reading This Blog Is Ten Years Old

Writing Is Like Cleaning The Toilet
I’m having resistance posting on this blog. So let me remind myself why I set this as a year-end goal in the first place. What was my why for this one? Frankly, I don’t remember. But my 3 main reasons for starting any project are: 1. To see if I can endure or persist over … Continue reading Writing Is Like Cleaning The Toilet
How Not Writing a Novel During National Novel Writing Month Made Me A Better Writer
I don’t write novels. Never have. Never will. But every year since 2011 I’ve signed up for NaNoWriMo, and I’ve won it 5 out of those 8 years. This was a winning year. I validated last Friday and high-fived myself. I do it mainly to increase my stamina and endurance as a writer. I think … Continue reading How Not Writing a Novel During National Novel Writing Month Made Me A Better Writer
Year-End Goals
Year-end goals I’m now in the home stretch in NaNoWriMo. I’ve no doubt I’ll finish. I have 7K words to go and 3 days to finish, so even though it’s going to be a bit of a crank, if I know anything, it’s how to crank. Afterwards, I’ll celebrate, then report here on how … Continue reading Year-End Goals
Giving Up Procrastination For Lent
I was going to do something for Lent, but never got around to deciding what. I don’t want to “give up” anything; I want to add something. I want a new challenge, a new activity, a new project. I did the digital declutter in January and started a book club in February, now I really … Continue reading Giving Up Procrastination For Lent

Full Moon In Capricorn tomorrow
I don't usually pay too much attention to lunar cycles, but this caught my eye because, 1) I am a Capricorn, and 2) tomorrow is July 1st and I am devoting the entire month to finishing my book. Initially, I scheduled vacations and weekends off from writing, but I realized that I don't have the … Continue reading Full Moon In Capricorn tomorrow
Writing to Know
This is my 126th post in a row. It's getting hard now. My goal with this blog, ultimately, is to write content that adds value to the reader somehow. I don't even know what that means. When it comes to a blog like this, which is not really a yoga blog, or a food blog, … Continue reading Writing to Know
Crank Time
Here in Pennsylvania it rained. All day. G is so sick she sat on the couch and binge-watched DVR-ed episodes of Long Island Medium and drank copious amounts of hot water laced with coconut oil and raw honey. She is really sick. I did 47 loads of laundry, went to the ATM, and to the … Continue reading Crank Time
How to Write Your Personal Manifesto
I got knee-deep and dirty into my book today. I changed my working title from "Amp Your Vibe" to "How to Create a Project-Driven Life" which is really what it is about. There are list-making exercises. There are ways to beta-test project ideas before you commit to them. There are tips on how to build … Continue reading How to Write Your Personal Manifesto
