Coordinating all the elements of writing work is not without challenges

Organizing, Writing, and Coordinating – Oh My!

June 6, 2023

Coordinating all the elements of writing work is not without challenges. First and foremost, I’m a storyteller. Whether it’s a blog, podcast, fiction, or recounting a tale from my frequently awesome life experiences, I love to tell the stories. For a time, finding and crossing the bridge between my works – fiction, nonfiction, business – occupied much of my focus. Then I got it in hand and moved past it. Until I needed to reorganize

Why Can’t and Won’t AI Replace Genuine Artists?

May 30, 2023

As smart as AI is, genuine artists will never be replaced. Art in its many forms is an expression of the soul. I don’t care how smart or self-aware AI (artificial intelligence) gets – it will never have a soul. Sure, it might be able to emulate people and thought processes in many ways. Eventually, they might even be able to synthetically feel. But they will never create with soul because they haven’t got one.

Books and the arts are amazing sources of practical magic

Can You See the Same Magic That I See in Books and the Arts?

May 23, 2023

Books and the arts are amazing sources of practical magic. I have no idea how old I was when I learned to read. I’d guess I was probably 3 or 4 – since I believe that I was able to read the famous text crawl at the start of Star Wars (Episode IV: A New Hope, if you must) before I was 5 years old. Reading has been a love for as long as I

fun with words and grammar pet peeves. The writing is on the wall written on a wall

What Are Some of Your Word and Phrase Pet Peeves?

May 16, 2023

I have a few pet peeves when it comes to words and phrases people (mis)use. (Authors note: This exploration of grammatical pet peeves is meant to be humorous, not condescending, or judgmental). I come by most of my snobbery via my dad. But it’s his grammar snobbery I appreciate the most, I think. Years ago, in my 20s, driving to an appointment with him, we were listening to NPR. The anchors were discussing how many

what you read will impact what you write

Does What You Read Impact What You Write?

May 9, 2023

What you read will impact what you write in various ways. When I started to read daily, I chose a specific time so that I’d be consistent. Every morning, the first thing I do after I get out of bed, take care of the cats, and get the coffee started, is sit down and read. This can take me 30-60 minutes (I’m usually up at 6 am). I tend to read 1-2 chapters each of
