  • I’m a writer. Are you? #writerlyinsides

    I’m a Writer. And so are you. Say it with me. I’m a Writer. Now the trick is to really put feeling behind it. Believe that you are a writer. I was having a lovely conversation with a new friend the other day and she made the comment that she was a novice writer. And I stared at itĀ for a moment and a rush came over to me. It was so fierce that it was probably good that I had armfuls of groceries otherwise I would have dropped my phone. I was so stunned. I hadn’t something like that in a long time. There are so many beautiful and talented…

    Today’s post is a little special. I’ve been trying to rattle my friends for guest posts and when I say rattle it’s more like, hey you, write me a guest post.

  • You Need to Write a Shitty First Draft

    And here’s why. I remember being told in school to write a draft of an essay, story, report, whatever and I remember I hated doing it. It was the extra time that it added to an assignment that I didn’t want to do. My writing always seemed to be full of gold right off the bat…although my teachers knew otherwise. A shitty first draft is something that is rough and it needs to be a part of every writer repetoire, no matter if you’re a poet, journalist, song writer, whatever. Some people don’t get that concept. I know so many writers are dead set on getting everything perfect the first…
