    As I sit down to write this post, I’m racing the clock. I have two client manuscripts due, thirty manuscript openings to read for a workshop, eight sessions for a writing retreat to plan, and a book to promote. To say nothing of my children’s activities. Thank God I am about to unload a chunk of pages of my latest novel on my writing partners for feedback, for a tiny break. Writers are busy. We’re stressed. We’re anxious. No matter how much time we have to write, it never feels like enough. So how do we survive it at all? Below, I’ve shared a few tips that have helped me stay afloat over the years. Also? Drink coffee and wine. Lots of it. And exercise like you’re being chased by a bear. It helps.

    New Book, New Writing Process? Why Changing it Up Works

    By

    I have this weird habit of tracking patterns in my head. When I worked on my Master’s degree in Cultural Geography, I suddenly realized I was a social scientist at heart, watching people do their thing and examining why they did it. How they shape their environment and how their environment shapes them—their habits, their […]

    Writing through the Soggy, Infuriating, Anxiety-Inducing Middle

    By

    I’ve just blasted through the first act of my new work in progress. It was like falling in love again, my passion ablaze for this new subject and new characters. My fingers flew over the keys and the exhilaration of creating had me in its grip—until I got THERE. You know the “there” I’m talking […]

    What Fiction Trends Say About Us

    By

    The book market is shifting again as it has quite often in the last five years. Let’s face it. It’s desperately trying to keep up with our fast-paced world. How we discover books, how we purchase them, and how we read them have changed completely. All of that change is difficult for an industry that’s […]

    Speaking Your Truth Through Fiction

    By

    With so much happening in the news these days, I’ve been thinking a lot about truth. What is truth, exactly? Is it an objective fact that can be validated by concrete evidence, or is truth an abstract construct that gleans its meaning from the emotional experiences of an individual?  Judges and cops will tell you, […]

    Stepping Out, Stepping In, Bringing the Light

    By

    While I write this post, I’m sitting in a café in Brooklyn, watching servers whip by carrying plates of breakfast food to eager customers. There are no piles of pancakes or greasy omelets and sausages, but rather breakfast salads with kale and seasoned sweet potatoes topped with grilled scallops, or biscuits dressed with chorizo and […]

    What We Can Learn About Fiction from Cute Videos on Social Media

    By

    Raise your hand if you find yourself clicking all of those little videos on social media? Maybe you don’t even click them, but they start playing automatically and next thing you know, you’ve wasted five minutes on a baby smearing yogurt on their face, a goat “laughing,” or a SNL skit of the latest debate […]

    Revising, Revising, and How to Make it Through

    By

    There are some who are lucky enough to write a novel and make it beautiful in two or three drafts. (Secretly, I loathe them. Why can’t I do that?!) Most of us, on the other hand, spend months and months, sometimes years, perfecting our works. By the time we’ve seen that story seven or eight […]

    When You Feel Like You’re Treading Water (in Publishing)

    By

    It’s the dog days of summer, and what a scorcher it has been. With my kids home from school, family vacations and activities have been underway. There’s lots of client work stacking up in my inbox, and other household responsibilities festering. I’m trying to take advantage of the weather and jam in as much exercise […]

    When You Don’t Want to Write

    By

    We’ve all been there, in that dark place where we procrastinate and downright abhor writing. We avoid the imperfect sentences, the sagging storyline in need of an overhaul, or perhaps we avoid the new project. We think about that twisting road to completion and it overwhelms us to the point of shutdown. There are loads […]

    Behaving Badly in Publishing

    By

    I’m going to rant a little today, I’m afraid. It’s a post that I had to write, both because I care about my work “environment”, and I care about my colleagues. I’m talking about internet road rage. You know, the cyberplace where you don’t have to face the music in person so you act out […]

    Because Gosh Darn It, Writers are Special

    By

      I’ve just returned from Europe and as usual, enjoyed my time immensely. Each day, I relished mapping out my plan for the day and traveling around the city unencumbered. There’s something energizing about that kind of freedom—choosing where you’d like to go without a computer or responsibilities, the thrill of adventure zipping through your […]
