Capture the images in your mind, first...before th Capture the images in your mind, first...before the page. 

Draw in the words..like a writer. 

Consider the visuals, the scenes and think of a sequence that makes a compelling story. 

That's one way in.

Ideas hit like a lightning bolt and it seems the m Ideas hit like a lightning bolt and it seems the most natural thing. Of course you're gonna make a book out of this. 

You begin. 

You stall. 

You restart. 

You get help. 

You take a pause. 

You change the idea a little and fists pumping to the universe, THIS IS IT!

Until its not. 

and that's only one path. 

How about the manuscript you crank out and can't get anyone to look at when you start querying. Sad trombone. 

How about the proposal you worked six months on, hired a pro editor for, and the agent you are so jazzed to be signed by can't get a nibble from a publisher. 

I got a million of em...those daunting writing and publishing stories. 

I know the last thing you might want is advice so let me just commisserate with ya?

My current book is taking way longer than I want it to..and I'm a frigging book coach. Rawr. 

what's your "taking too long story"...please share. I need to hear it as much as you need to say it.
I see stories everywhere. Just that, no deep pro I see stories everywhere. 

Just that, no deep prosey announcement. Just me receiving the message and sharing it—we all want to be seen, heard, and loved. People will carve their initials in things for a moment’s reassurance that they will be remembered, noticed, thought of. 

That’s what writing is for me…it’s making ourself matter…

Write on. First for you, and whenever it becomes for someone else, that’s great too!!

I thought my heart was as big as it could be. To k I thought my heart was as big as it could be. To know me is to know that my love for my sons is the largest force in my life…and then I got to love who they love—daughters!! Wow. And now I get to be part of what their love makes. H’s is more than the baby we never thought possible… he is a life that we didn’t dare to dream of a decade ago. 

loving large continues…
I love my weekly jaunts four minutes down the road I love my weekly jaunts four minutes down the road to @nottawacottagebookstore. I never leave empty handed, and always feel like I’ve had a mini-vacation. Readers delight, this little piece of book heaven.

I spent some hours today walking the campus of U o I spent some hours today walking the campus of U of T. It plays a key role in my next book and I wanted to drink in St. George Street. So much change and yet the stories place still has the bones I cherished.

Memoirists rely on their selective memories to cul Memoirists rely on their selective memories to cultivate content. 

Although we all casually say things like “My memory is so bad,” and huff with frustration…I believe we also imprint the really critical instants. 

I’m reminded that whether I intentionally savour moments like my grandson’s hands suspended in the air…memories of them will revisit on me whenever I see beautiful hands for the rest of my life. 

Memories are like a bowl of fish hooks—you pull one and the next and next come along. as I watch H sleepI catch glimpses or my fathers hands, my sons hands and moments when I studied them. 

Our memories don’t fail us. it’s a filing system we under estimate. 

Write to exercise your memory muscle. 

Write on.
