Are you a writer? An artist? A human being?

I get a lot of questions about how to write a book. Always happy to talk about writing, but I thought I'd answer some of them just to get the conversation started. Seems what I said about writing can also be applied to living.

mrs mediocrity – indeed. perhaps we all are. and i’d offer one thought: if you’re alive, you’re creative.

It helps a whole bunch to also be a human doing. Gives us more to talk about, write about, think about.

rick – yes, yes. and yet, sometimes the most important verb is, simply, to be.

One. Step. At. A. Time. Thoughtfully. With. Intention.

And just to add a dash of passion, make sure that something is worth an !!!EXCLAMATION POINT!!! once in a while.

I’d be happy for a little advice on blog-design. I love the way your’s is set up. I’m stuck in a rut when it comes to mine. But writing advice is always welcome as well. )

Much love to you. Yes, it is hard for us left behind. I am familiar with the cried-headache, having cried myself into one just a month ago. There are only trite words at this point. Know that there are many who are walking through their grief at the same time, the girl at the check-out counter, the librarian – anyone we may come in contact with may very well be walking this same path. You are steeped in real-life at the moment. And surrounded by love.

I awarded you a Verstaile Blogger award. It is your choice whether to play or not, but I still wanted to include you in the blogs that most inspired me and that I wanted to share with others.

happy day!

Great post. I’ll add, “Stop the brutal whining and write!”

I’ve been thinking all day about the quote, “Bloom where you are planted.” It really is being here now and just doing it.

The next time someone whines to me I will redirect them to this post. You express it perfectly!
