Come on over and learn all about my writing life (or lack thereof) in spite of aches and pains. I have even suggestions for helping folks feel better. I’m at Colleen Story’s Writing and Wellness Blog.
Growing Up with Chuck and Eddie … by Kerrie Flanagan
Growing up the older sister of twin brothers was not always easy—at times it was downright infuriating. I guess I even told my mom after the boys were born and home for about a week, to take them back now. My parents say I was an easy child. I smiled a lot, slept through the …Read More
Are You Watching the Olympics?
Even more than being a political event junkie, I’m an Olympics addict. I’m doing my best this year to avoid staying glued to the television for as many hours as I have in past years. So far, I watched some of the opening ceremony, a little swimming and a lot of gymnastics. I checked in …Read More
I’m My Own Guest Blogger This Week

Writers–Make Peace with Your Choices and Stop Feeling Guilty
I read so many blog posts and Facebook updates from authors who are carrying the huge burden of producing less than the author who lives down the street or even producing less than the goal on their personal writing plan. That prolific author Laura DiSilverio, for instance, writes 2,000 words a day no matter what. …Read More
Staying Silent about Violence on Social Media is Not the Same as Condoning Violence
In my humble opinion, rants on social media stir up anger and provoke violence. Just like the media and its audience-seeking coverage of horrific crimes and incendiary rhetoric. Folks just need to calm down and take a deep breath. Silence is golden. Chances are, the person who’s making the least noise is the one who’s …Read More
How to Create the Perfect Writing Soundtrack … by Laurence MacNaughton
Before I became a full-time writer, I thought music was too distracting to play while I was writing. I thought I needed absolute silence. Then I got a job as a staff writer, and suddenly I couldn’t hear myself think. Stuck in the middle of a bustling open-plan office, I quickly discovered that if I …Read More
