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). Story-telling 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
Explore your protagonists’ personality by writing a scene where they try a new form of exercise they’re not familiar with. Are they awkward? Do they nail it? Do they fall on their face? Run from the gym crying? Sign up for the next class? Love it so much they immediately buy tons of expensive gear?
Writing Quote
“Don’t loaf and invite inspiration; light out after it with a club, and if you don’t get it you will nonetheless get something that looks remarkably like it.”
― Jack London
