Earlier this month at the Tribeca Festival, I saw a powerful and highly relevant documentary called, Bodyguard of Lies, directed by Dan Krauss. It examines how lies and deception led to the 20-year US war in Afghanistan. tribecafilm.com/films/bodygu...

I will be offline and unavailable for the rest of May, completing a major project. If you need to reach me before then, please contact my assistant, Owl.

In a fun and supportive workshop setting, adult #writers will have the opportunity to share excerpts of their works in progress, review the foundational elements of story, and respond to writing prompts to generate new work.

Cost and registration information can be found on DelArt.org.

Artist Louise Bourgeois observed, "Art is restoration: the idea is to repair the damages that are inflicted in life, to make something that is fragmented...into something that is whole." Discover how #writing can promote self-care, understanding, and social change.

#Writing is exploration. A good story is a search for meaning.

Like the owl, #writers don't let darkness prevent us from making keen observations. Reading and #writing promote knowledge and wisdom.

What can we as #writers learn from the woodpecker? Making some noise is necessary for survival.

​While an important part of #writing involves connecting with readers and community, much of the creation process requires solitude. Solitude is important for nurturing your ideas and contemplation. Take the time you need. #writingcommunity

Not everything we write makes it into the final draft. But the exploration of #writing and the creation of early drafts are often necessary to discover the parts of the story that are preserved. Nothing is wasted. #writingtips #writingcommunity

As mushrooms manage to thrive in darkness, writers will also find ways to persevere. Now is not the time to give up.

Not to brag or anything, but I have been caring for this orchid for a little over two weeks and it is still alive!
