I am now officially halfway through The Artist’s Way and twice as far as I’ve ever made it before.  That in and of itself is an accomplishment, but it’s beginning to feel likely that I will complete it this time. Week 6 Theme: “Recovering a Sense of Abundance.”  This chapter asks us to tackle our [...]

This year, I’m signing up for the anti-resolution revolution.  It is so tempting to start listing all the things one wants to accomplish at the start of a New Year, but in my experience, the process (and thus the result) is flawed.

A couple of weeks ago, I asked for help choosing between two blog posts I’d written in order to revise one of them for submission to a travel-writing anthology.  I was once again amazed at the generosity of this writing community when I got nearly 20 responses.  You all helped me so much, not just [...]

I’ve decided to take one of my blog posts about Italy, work on it a bit more, and submit it to an anthology of women’s travel writing.  The deadline is next week, so I need to move quickly and I could really use your help.  After looking through the posts, I’ve chosen my two favorites.  [...]
