Days 22 & 23 of the Love Write Now Pledge

LOVE LOVE LOVE Our world’s wounded in ways I can’t comprehend nor heal, and yet I yearn to help. What can one person do in the midst of so much chaos, hatred, and intolerance? Learn and love – that’s a perfect place for me to start. I do not claim to be a learned individualContinue reading “Days 22 & 23 of the Love Write Now Pledge”

Days 19-21 of the Love Write Now Pledge

Unless I pull myself together and write roughly 1,500 words daily over the course of 37 days, I won’t reach my goal of a finished draft (second book) by April 1st. I don’t always see goals through to completion: it’s an issue I’m very much aware of. Why do I give up so easily? LackContinue reading “Days 19-21 of the Love Write Now Pledge”

Days 17 & 18 of the Love Write Now Pledge

I’m more a Spring kind of girl, and yet, most of my creative inspiration this week has come from Winter’s beauty.

I’ve learned to be more present, awareContinue reading “Days 17 & 18 of the Love Write Now Pledge”

Days 15 & 16 of the Love Write Now Pledge

I see my beauty when I’m my most joyful and passionate; when I am in my element. my head, andContinue reading “Day 14 of the Love Write Now Pledge”

Day 4 of the Love Write Now Pledge

I very nearly let laziness win out tonight by calling it a night without writing anything. I thought, “Eh, I’ll just combine Days 4 & 5 together in a long post tomorrow. I’m too tired tonight.” I shook my head, grabbed my notebook, and turned the light back on. I made a pledge, and I’mContinue reading “Day 4 of the Love Write Now Pledge”

Day 1 of the Love Write Now Pledge

Two days from the date of this post (in the second month of 2022), my debut novel turns 2!!!! Can you tell by my overuse of exclamation points how excited I am? 😉 About a month after THE SPIRIT PROJECTOR’s release in 2020 the world went quiet due to COVID-19; so too did my enthusiasmContinue reading “Day 1 of the Love Write Now Pledge”

Nov-Ember Writing Spark: A Challenge to Fire Up Your Writing Goals

I don’t know about you, my friends, but I lacked motivation and inspiration to write during the last year and a half. I had the time (plenty of it), and yet my creativity seemed burnt out. Then an unexpected trip to a local park a few weeks ago inspired me to write two new chaptersContinue reading “Nov-Ember Writing Spark: A Challenge to Fire Up Your Writing Goals”
