Welcome

I’m a Colorado-based 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

Choose a setting from your current work-in-progress and think about where you can go to get a real-world feel for that setting, with its sounds, textures, smells, tastes, and visuals. Then plan a field trip, grab a notebook, and go experience it and take notes!
