Jill Dearman replied to the discussion 'tips on "getting started"??'
"Carla, the only way to discover how rich an idea is is to follow it wherever it leads you. You know that, though! I suggest a little five minute meditation and then a promise to yourself that you'll spend the next 25 min writing. Half an hour…"

Profile Information

Who I am:
I am the author of Bang the Keys: Four Steps to a Lifelong Writing Practice (Penguin) and the creator of the Bang the Keys writing exercise APP. (Links below). I'm a writing coach, workshop leader and editor with years of experience. Since May, 2009 I've hosted a weekly blog column on Barnes and Noble.com called "Writer to Writer". I created this interview blog to give exposure to as many writers as possible. I love working with writers of all stripes -- experienced pros, newbies, but most of all those whose theme song is "Stuck in the Middle With You." My whole life is built around writing and helping other writers. Other than that all I can tell you is that I've been undressed by kings and seen some thing that a woman ain't S'POSED to see. I've been to paradise, but I've never been to me...
