Trust the Timing.

A creative life is full of strange timing, timing that—if you make yourself available to it, will surprise and delight you with opportunities and learning, growth and discovery. But you can’t force it, you can only keep showing up to the task, and more importantly, cultivating joy and pride in the process, for…See More

Don't Worry. Just Write.

   The crashing tides of social media, where many voices urge us writers to use the many online streams as tool for self-promotion, have made it hard for me to hear another, stronger voice that has been speaking  inside me.It says: ”Don’t worry. Just write.”Every time I panic that I haven’t blogged or tweeted…See More

Turn Inward: Make Your Own Noise

It’s been awhile since I’ve presented my Reasons To Write series…mostly because I have been writing and working and a lot of other things, so it’s good.But lately I’ve been feeling the strain of information again upon me—the strangely addictive cycle of spending lots of time on Facebook, reading my tweetstream, getting most of my news, and lots of interesting articles on the arts, even reading books online or on my SmartPhone. After too much of this, I begin to feel like Gulliver attacked on…See More

Words Without Exit

There’s a static fritzing in my body today. It started when the world receded into the hush of night—my own rapid heartbeat, my husband’s even breathing, the white noise of my son’s bedroom the only sounds. It feels like my insides are made of steel wool, my organs scratching against one another, inflamed. There’s a heat behind my eyes, melting my vision. I don’t know if I trust what I see.            This is the feeling of emotions with no exit strategy. When I cannot say how I feel to the…See More

Fixing the Crack (on Perfectionism)

Posted on May 2, 2012 at 6:23pm 0 Comments

Where my three year-old son’s closet door meets its edge, there is a crack. A tiny crack, barely enough to slide a thick piece of paper in. Like all closet doors, it simply doesn’t close perfectly.

“Fix the crack,” he begs, last in a list of ritualistic requests he makes, stalling the moment when he is alone with himself and the dark (if you don’t count the 20 stuffed animals, two night-lights, six layers of blankets, tank of goldfish, white noise and more). And…

We have all felt as Dante expresses above at one, or many points, in our lives.

Those of us who write might, in fact, be doing so as a way of finding…

No Work ‘Til Spring

Posted on January 2, 2012 at 7:30pm 0 Comments

Even though I’m still carrying my jacket more often than wearing it, it’s January, and thus, ostensibly Winter. I know by the strange membrane of gray that stretches tight over the sky, in the air, as though I’m looking at the world through a veil of ancient lace. And even though this is California, where things bloom and snow is not legally sanctioned to fall below…
