The Next Best Thing

I’m reading “The Next Best Thing”, Jennifer Weiner’s newest book. While it’s a slow mover, it is a good story and keeps my interest because the main character is a writer – for TV. It was all very interesting to see how shows are written and then finally make it onto our TV screen, but . . . → Read More: The Next Best Thing

I’m Not Alone…

..and I’m perfectly normal. That, perhaps, is the nicest feeling in the world. Just knowing that whatever you are going through, it’s not unique to you, and there are characteristics of it that are experienced by others going through the same thing. Misery does love company – it’s what makes miserable, tolerable.

Why Do I Read?

One might ask, “Why would you ever stop to even ask yourself that question?”. Once again I was moved by the words of another writer. Ariana Huffington was on CBS this morning remembering her good friend, Nora Ephton, who passed away yesterday. (Screenwriter for “When Haryy Met Sally, Sleepless in Seattle) Nora was one of . . . → Read More: Why Do I Read?

Another Gem…In My Backyard

It happened again, and I’m glad. This week two writer/blogger friends and I took a little field trip. One of them was a member of the Cotuit Center for the Arts and suggested we take our blog meeting on a little field trip to Wine and Music Night at the center. Wine and Music Night? . . . → Read More: Another Gem…In My Backyard

Not “For Artists Only”

I used to subscribe to a blog called Keitharsis. It was by a writer named Keith Jennings. I was drawn to it because of his general philosophy on creativity. It was a great approach to not only art and writing, but just a great philosophy of life, too.

The part that attracted me was . . . → Read More: Not “For Artists Only”

Today is fun. I’m glad I can make that statement. I left the cape this afternoon for a weekend away. I’m in Worcester right now for job training tonight. Tomorrow I go to NY to see my dad. Saturday it’s off to Connecticut for training in opening up our business in Connecticut and Massachusetts, then . . . → Read More: Business Girl

Tale of a Home Business

Monday morning I was standing in my kitchen with my hands on the counter, looking around while fear and anxiety slowly took hold. Three weeks ago, on a similar Monday morning, the same thing happened. Both Monday mornings were the start of independent projects for me. Getting my book published, and starting a small business . . . → Read More: Tale of a Home Business

A Marigold Day

Today was an “artist date” to top all artists dates. You’re supposed to take only yourself on an artist date, but today I had to break that rule. A fellow writer friend was badly in need of an artist date herself, I had the perfect venues picked out, we love each other’s company, so how . . . → Read More: A Marigold Day

Things, Things, Things!

Ah..the things of my life…money, writing, new business, health, relationships,..all the things that keep life interesting. There will always be issues in these things that need to be dealt with on a daily basis. I spent a lifetime trying to “put all of these to bed” so I could finally relax and be happy. It . . . → Read More: Things, Things, Things!
