The Eagle on Your Credit Card

If Annie said it, I believe it. And she, of course, meant writing.

It is hard not to constantly compare other writers to Anne Lamott, she who thinks of things so ordinary as the eagle on your credit card as a way to help us aspiring writers know what we shouldn’t be chasing.

19 for 2019

I wasn’t sure I was going to post my “19 for 2019” list, but after having breakfast this morning with my friend and fellow writer Missy, I decided to err on the side of blogging today. I am still in neutral after quite a lot of focused writing time last year, and I’m not sure what’s next.

No Confidence in the Flesh

As I mentioned here exactly one month ago, I did some writing practice on the themes of motherhood and attachment in October. It was hugely helpful, and even more so as I spent time this past Saturday rereading the journal entries and copying some of the insights I gleaned into a few summary pages.

No-vember Writing Practice

November is “back to the blog” month. It has been so good to have writing goals in recent months. I spent the summer writing the devotional I mentioned, and I spent October journaling on motherhood. Now I have decided to write a month of blog posts that all begin with “No” in the title.

You write too. Leave a comment or send a letter to the editor.
