  • Impatience and Run-away Days

    Do you ever have one of those days when all you want to do is run away? For my birthday a few weeks back, my husband bought me a brand new laptop. It was unexpected, sweet, and quite lovely – it’s so much faster than the old one. It also came with sample games pre-installed,…

  • Resistance is Futile! : Breaking Through Internal Resistance

    As I’ve been getting back into the writing groove this year, I’ve found myself floundering a bit when I found I was unable to focus on any one thing or any one project. I think most of us can recognize that this is a kind of resistance we all face in our creativity, a resistance…
