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

What’s a genre you’re sure you’ll never write? Romance? Horror? Science Fiction? Write a flash-fiction short story (less than 1000 words) in that genre. I double-dog dare you! It doesn’t have to be great. Just try it as a pushing-the-envelope exercise. How freeing is it to write something outside your comfort zone? Enjoy the process of discovery!

Writing Quote

“You learn to write by writing.”
