Writing in Community: the mirror of friends, and the backward glance
Two weeks ago, I learned about a writing grant opportunity, with about a week to put together an application. I struggled, but I didn’t make the deadline. The project that most needed outside help was also the project that was … Continue reading
Goals: Beginning Again
Last night my colleague Becca Patterson and I attended a reading for graduating MFA students at Hamline University in St. Paul. I had the pleasure of hearing a piece that I’d read in an early draft, recognizable still but with … Continue reading
Goals: On Getting the Groove Back (Part 1)
Now something over three weeks into my full-time work as a self-employed writer, I’ve spent a good part of my time setting up: Reading software manuals (Aeon Timeline and Scrivener, of which more later) and thinking about how to use … Continue reading
Goals (and an announcement): On Going Professional
For the last year or so I have been running this blog at a very minimal level, doing excerpts and lurking on other blogs without commenting. That’s changing, starting now, because I have left the day job that had been … Continue reading

So once more I set myself the Lost Weekend NaNo Challenge (50K in a long weekend) and once more I “failed.” I’m hanging at 21,961 words now, which is to say a little less than halfway to 50,000 words (43.922%, … Continue reading
Goals: The Annual Autumn New Year’s Resolution Post
It’s been a much too eventful year on the Real Life front, which I haven’t written about here because it’s been enough to do to just keep my head above water in the ongoing weather. To wit: Devin Harnois and … Continue reading
A fresh start for autumn: preview of coming attractions
Except for my Six Sentence Sunday excerpts, I’ve been largely absent from my own blog this summer and early autumn. Behind the scenes, I’ve been working steadily, but little of it has shown up here, for a variety of reasons. … Continue reading
