A Silent "Great Job for Trying"

Posted on July 10, 2011 at 9:02am 0 Comments

To my niece Ashley on her not so triumphant first try at the "American Idol" tryouts.  Wanted to say congratulations even if you didn't make it past the second round, you went there without fear and you tried!  More than a lot of people would do, more than I would do.  You now know what its all about, you met some great people, played music with them and now you know what you must do before next years attempt.  Great Job...

 

At the age of 15 my…

Note to Self...

Posted on July 7, 2011 at 8:51pm 2 Comments

Tomorrow.....

  • You will not redesign, yet again, your blog... It is fine the way it is.  
  • You will spend your time more productively, like maybe writing something to post on the blog.
  • You will write more than five pages and not write one page then delete it.  
  • You will not edit while you write. 
  • And you will stop the "Fatkins Diet" - chips are not a three course meal..

Now if I can just remember to look at this list!

What would you do if your great idea was just release by another author?

Posted on July 6, 2011 at 10:29am 0 Comments

So for the pas few weeks I thought I had this great idea for a book.. Started my notes, outlines and research.  But this morning I'm reading through my PW Daily newsletter and what do I find?  The release of a similar book...  Arrrghhh.  Now what?

 

Has this happened (which I'm sure it has) to anyone else?  And what was your next step?

  • Did you scrap the idea
  • Revise the plot or story
  • Tweak it and use the idea in another…

Hi GiGi,

As promised I’m checking in on you to see how you are coming along with your three wishes. Yes, you’ve added the comment, and now I’m here checking up!
Have you removed those destructive voices; "you can't do this", "you need to go get a job to help pay bills", "you should feel guilty for sitting on your butt writing when it may or may not produce any tangible results…"?

Though I don’t want you to stress about it, but do want you to know I’m really rooting for you.

Rhonda (RYCJ)

Love

LOVE has been on my mind the past few days. Maybe because it's valentines day... maybe not. I just want you guys to know what love means. Real love, not the fake marketing kind. So, I've spent the last  few days trying to define love for you, not…See More

Sarah Harris commented on the blog post 'I could only write my memoir…After my mother had died'
Cris, I started writing when I finally believed in myself enough and allowed my voice to emerge and trust the process. The piece I'm working on is a one-woman show about mental illness and it was bubbling under the surface for years. It was…
