Don’t Wait for a Safe Place to Jump

Do you remember the first time you flung yourself off a diving board into the school or community swimming pool? Did you hesitate for just a moment, trying to find or regain your balance? Trying to grab onto a feeling of safety and security before you took the leap? You…

Writing About Your Kind of Hell Could Help Someone Else Get Through Theirs

“You know, we do live in ludicrous ignorance of each other. I mean, we usually don’t know the things we’d like to know even about our supposedly closest friends. I mean, suppose you’re going through some kind of hell in your own life. Well, you would love to know if…

Writing Is More Than a Hobby

“Writing is not a hobby. Collecting stamps or coins is a hobby. Writing is a calling.” Barbara Abercrombie, A Year of Writing Dangerously For a long time, I treated writing as a hobby. I have some other hobbies-reading, making beaded jewelry, and singing being some of them. Writing is different. …

Celebrate When You Start a New Book

Cats Don’t Get Impostor Syndrome

As someone who deals with impostor syndrome, I think about it frequently.
