Why Must We Completely Re-Invent Ourselves?

 I am feeling very inadequate.  While I have recently, at the age of 55, moved to a new city and a house, completed a new novel, and said good-bye to my last child as she heads off to college; while I have, in the past six years ended two marriages and started a new relationship, I have not, for example: climbed a mountain, alone, started a cupcake business, left my job and devoted myself to volunteer work.  Nor have I overcome a huge and debilitating illness.  I have not moved to a foreign…See More

Lisa Solod commented on the blog post 'Writing Is Not A Contest! (No Matter How Much Some Dudes Wish It Were)'
I like this.  I adore Naipul's writing but thought the comment was ridiculous and unnecessary.... it has made him look silly and egocentric (which he may be).  Just another bit of proof that great writers are not always great people,…

I was thrilled to have my story chosen... and for it to have such good ratings.  This is an interesting series.  I hope you all will look at it.  Thanks SheWrites and HuffPo for the prompt.

The Moment I Knew   I was standing with family and friends in Collioure, France, watching the most spectacular and beautiful fireworks I had ever seen when I knew my marriage was finished.  It was Bastille Day, 2002.  A little less…

Lisa Solod commented on the blog post 'Pink and Blue Diaries: When Is Social Media a Writing Nutrient, and When Is It Doritos? Take the Social Media Cleanse Challenge with Me and Find Out!'
I like it.  I have lately been thinking about what I read and why.  I don't know exactly what constitutes social media, other than twiiter, Facebook and blogs..... But as I do a lot of my news reading online I need to include that,…

Lisa Solod commented on the blog post 'Say It With Me: DIE Literary Sexism, DIE'
See my take on this... published in HUffPo the same day as the Picoult/Weiner whine. While I agree that many women writers may not get the acclaim that Franzen and other males do, the cream rises (Atwood, Drabble, Morrison, Strout.... etc. etc. who…

Lisa Solod commented on the blog post 'The Great Competition for the Saddest Story Ever Told'
It continually surprises me that people believe that just because they have led a horrible life they automatically have a book in them. Being a writer is much more than telling a tale of woe. Thanks for sharing this with writers here; I hope it…

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…
