Welcome

I’m a Colorado-based freelance/business writer, creative writer, and speaker with an irresistible desire to talk about writing (or travel… don’t get me started). Storytelling is the best way I know to keep reality on a short leash. Whether you’re a reader or a writer (or both), this website is a place where we can share tips, gripes, inspiration, and observations about this writing life. Got a question? Ask! Got a suggestion or comment? Share it! Want more? Sign up for my newsletter. I can’t wait to connect with you.

Writing Prompt

Your character just won a trip to a country where they don’t speak the language! Write the scene where they arrive and suddenly realize they can’t read any of the signs. Keeping their personality in mind, how does this affect them emotionally?

Writing Quote

“The greatest part of a writer’s time is spent in reading, in order to write; a man will turn over half a library to make one book.” 
― Samuel Johnson
