So far, the difficulties I've had writing a given story have always proven to be a matter of not having the right information. When I let go and focus on something else, mostly the right answer comes to me, even in the most unexpected ways. The Apprentice Storyteller, for example, is a book I got stuck on over and over again, and I almost gave up on it, but one day during my certification training to become a transformational life coach, the penny suddenly dropped and I understood what was missing from The Apprentice Storyteller.

The answers to a "block" often come to me while walking in nature, or keeping busy with my hands. I love crafts and cross-stitching, which give my mind time to work through whatever is proving difficult in my writing(less)

First Children's Book Coming Soon to Kickstarter

A few years ago, my then four-year-old nephew tripped and fell, and broke his thigh bone. Through my sister's experiences with this incident which involved a lot of miscommunication with other adults and the medical services, I was sucked into what it all must have meant to the little boy who was in pain, trying to communicate about his experience and where it hurt, and what it meant for him when Read more of this blog post »
