Ever wish you knew the order of things when it comes to editing? . . .
Well, easier 😉. You’ve written much of your book. You’ve made sure the blue eyes on page 46 aren’t brown on page 220 and that Uncle Grady’s southern accent doesn’t come and go. What’s next? You're looking ahead, getting ready to get ready. Here are the steps I often...
Dramarama summer? Me, too! Here’s to writing into a fabulous fall . . .
Is it just me, or has it been a SUMMER? Between freak horse injuries (two at once, unrelated), our four-year-old dog, Wild, waking up blind for no apparent reason (glaucoma at four… whaaat?!), followed by surgery to remove a tumor on her stomach (not cancerous, TG!),...
Binge-tastic! 3 new Beautiful Writers Pod episodes!
OMG, dreams do come true! In her newsletter yesterday (I was on horseback without the internet—my timing... or rather, my husband's timing!), Laura Belgray writes that she always fantasized about being one of my guests. “Yup: After having my sights set on it for...
Library serenity: Get you some (+ air conditioning!) this summer
Good morning! I wanted to pop in with a short & sweet summertime writing tip from the road. (Mama’s driving eight hours today, home from seeing our grand kiddos in Vancouver, Washington.) ☀️🤓 LIBRARIES! Have you sat down in one recently? The focus is instant, at...
Her dream agent, hardback book release, article in the NYT. Yay!
Don't you love a good success story? Me, too! Today we celebrate one of our own, Beautiful Writers Group member Clare Frank, and lit agent Laura Yorke (who's sold many books for #BookMama clients). This, my friends, is an example of how a life-long mission +...
Begging the writing gods for HELP? I’ve been there!
Have you ever wanted something so badly that you thought you might die without it? My literary agent was about to drop me. I could feel it. He’d been sending my book proposal to editors for a year with no takers. I was an unknown, but the book was damn good—I trusted...

😂 Love her! How do your favorite authors like @annelamott tune in? If you’re struggling to write something awe-inspiring, is it solely up to you? Surely, a writer can’t be penalized if their snoozy muse is asleep on the job! And if divine inspiration is real, it begs the question: How can we mere mortals gain favor from the gods? 🙏
Libraries are filled with books written by authors who beseeched the heavens and their muse to give them inspiration, protection, and compensation. There isn’t a writer alive who doesn’t want their creative endeavors to carry on when the honeymoon phase inevitably ends. That’s when many of us bow our heads (or, in #MaryKarr’s case, hit her knees, say a lot of swear words, and shoot her middle finger at the light bulb while saying, “Why do you want me to do this if it’s this damn hard?”).😜
Chapter 8 of #BeautifulWriters (Dancing with the Muse: Coaxing and Cultivating Creativity) contains awe-inspiring tips for how the greats collaborate with their higher power to craft their best work. Read as Van Jones, Steven Pressfield, Marianne Williamson, Elizabeth Gilbert, Danielle LaPorte, Paul Williams, Anita Moorjani, Leeza Gibbons, Elizabeth Lesser, Patricia Cornwell, and the fabulous Mary Karr reveal how their thoughts, prayers, & rituals deliver.
Can I get an amen?
