The first thing I'll do is simply get up, walk around the house briefly, maybe get a drink of water, coffee, or wine (depending on the time of day). Then sit back down and try again.

Next, I'll change spots. I'll move from the kitchen table to the couch to the office to the kitchen table again.

I may turn on a record for a song or two.

If that doesn't work, I'm okay calling it a day and trying again tomorrow, but being sure to watch or read something I enjoy in the interim to re-engage my creativity.(less)

What is needed for a 200-word piece is far different from 1000-word piece or a 50,000-word piece. Having opportunities to craft writings of different lengths is always a helpful way to stay fresh in the craft. (less)

Tish Harrison Warren hits a sweet spot between Annie Dillard and Anne Lamott that is delightful. Her style is a joy to read (or in my case listen to). Her insights into the importance of the ordinary were abundantly necessary for me to hear, and I be ...more

Cujo is a truly interesting read. Its literary style contains a lot of head hopping, jumping from point of view to point of view without any chapters. It is also quite emotive, a tear jerker for me.

I learned a lot from this book about the early and medieval church that I did not know. It was a very helpful look into one arena where people have added Law to the Gospel, burdening God's people with weight that is unnecessary to bear. It is a topic ...more
