1 Big Reason I'm Not Writing You Guys a List Today
Remember my book, The Art & Craft of Fiction: A Practitioner's Manual? We released it in PDF last spring, and I blogged about the self-publishing process for She Writes? Well, we've just spent our Thanksgiving weekend preparing the print version for Lightning Source so we…

Barchester's Ghosts (Poem)
My poem, "Barchester's Ghosts, or The Supernatural Demise of Archdeacon Haynes", is my attempt to answer a dare to write a poem about Noel ghosts. (The details about the dare are at the end of the post.) It also is my first try at writing a ghost story, in verse or otherwise. I wrote the poem, which has its origins in an very old short story by M.R. James, in couplets, using no more than three and one words per line.…

It's All in How You Say It
As some of you may have noticed, I have been lax in my blogging and communicating with my fellow She Write-ers - and for that I am really sorry. My excuse? I began a new (part time) job that, as is often the case, takes up more time than originally expected (I am working on it).

10 Reasons Writers Can Be Thankful
Libraries: Librarians recommend our books, buy our books, shelve our books, and provide forums for us to discuss our books. Now we can support the libraries by joining Authors for Libraries, a program of the Association of Library Trustees, Advocates, Friends, and Foundation.

Slavery in America’s Heartland? It’s a 21st Century Dirty Secret Affecting Girls as Young as 12.
Slavery is not dead in America. Human trafficking – forcing people to work against their will – is the second-largest criminal industry in the world; illegal sale of drugs is first. The money raised by trafficking girls for sex is used to purchase illegal drugs and guns, two commodities that bring in more money and wield more power for the men who possess them. The girls sold for sex don’t get any of the money they earn.
Don’t kid… Continue

Is it Extreme?
[the rant]
If I hear that I am extreme one more time I'm going to lose it! - Well, not really, but it gets very tiresome. What is extreme about being passionate? What is extreme about challenging yourself? What is extreme about being inquisitive or adventurous? What is extreme about questioning things & not believing everything you… Continue

Isn't She Lovely
She is days away from giving birth, and there is usually not another time in a woman's life when she feels so un-lovely, so distorted, or so unfamiliar with the image of herself that she sees reflected in the mirror. But she is beautiful. I can remember the first time I met her just over 10 years ago. She was a freshman at Auburn and had just begun dating our son who was a junior at the time. The Dad and I had traveled to Auburn for a football weekend. This son had dated a number of girls in… Continue

LETTER TO LUCY
Dear Lucy,
As a professional personal shopper, you must deal with all kinds of people. However, I am fairly certain that you have not been up against someone like me. I usually hand my hairdressers, manicurists, and cosmetologists a list of my requirements. I forgot to bring that list with me at our first appointment! Imagine my chagrin! So I thought I would just dash off a little note to you with a few hints to help you select the two outfits I will need for the June… Continue

'Failing' at NaNoWriMo Was the Best Thing That Ever Happened to My Writing
Tayari Jones wrote an eloquent post entitled, NaNoWriMo? It's Not For Everyone.
I couldn't agree agree more. NaNoWriMo is definitely not for everyone. Initially, I thought I was one of those people. I am a painstakingly slow writer. I labor over blog posts (which is why I've blogged sporadically, at best, over the past four years), articles written for myself, and freelance jobs I do… Continue

The Pain of Losing a Family
The day Tom died, I lost more than a husband. I lost a family. From the moment I turned on CNN, the family I loved, enjoyed and belonged to began to fracture, as if the second the plane crashed it became more than tortured steel and shredded rubber.
Tom was from a large, German, Catholic family, where he was the baby of seven. There was quite an age difference between the oldest and the youngest. I’ve always believed Tom was the favorite, the golden child, because he was most like… Continue

Act Like You Know (How To Be Free)
Think for yourself. Return to yourself. Not what you have been told or taught, but what you know. Get into a timeless space. Start looking from the big picture, the biggest picture you can imagine. Imagine every situation as if you're looking at it from the solar system's perspective. Get in touch with the infinite you. The you than was never… Continue

IMHO: How the Publishing World Has Changed (or Not)
While Googling myself (Hey, 'fess up! You do it, too!) I came up with this article, in LiveWires.com, dated April 3, 2009. In it, I was asked: "How do you see the world changing from a writer’s point of view?"My answer is below.
Do I still feel it hits the mark? Hell yeah. In a nutshell, my two cents: as online distribution of digitial books grow, the roles of publishers, agents, and book retailers will have to change, in order for these functions to survive. I… Continue

A Vision of History-Making Music-Making
Louisville Orchestra was awarded in 1953 a $400,000 Rockefeller Foundation grant to commission a composition a week, for three years. In the unlikeliest of circumstances, the orchestra turned Louisville into the "home of new music", commissioning music from the likes of Virgil Thomson, Aaron Copland, Luska Foss, Elliott Carter, Ned Rorem, and other extraordinary composers of the time. A new film, "Music Makes a City", documents the inspirational story. I've included the movie's trailer.…

On Loss
A little stream of consciousness moment...
Sleep always evades me when I need it the most. It’s like when something that belongs to you keeps popping up everywhere in the house and you don’t give it a second thought, then suddenly you need it, start looking for it and it vanishes. People and things have a habit of doing that, especially when you take them for granted. You don’t realize the value of something, or someone, until you lose them. It’s a harsh way of learning a… Continue

Got Choice?
Today's posts features the work of Columbia University professor Sheena Iyengar who travels the world to study how people make choices. I've included two videos: one of Iyengar discussing her book, "The Art of Choosing", and the other an 18-minutes talk about Iyengar's research. It's fascinating.
