"You have to sing every day so you can build up to being, you know, Amazingly Brilliant."
~ Mick Jagger
Smell is the one sense that can evoke complete memories...
No one is more qualified than you are to write what you want to write.
A sunrise can be as faded as the dying roses on the far edge of the garden, or as lively and fresh as the pink skin of a baby.
Until you name yourself Writer, you will never be a writer.
Make a place for your writing, a sacred place...
How to get started writing? Write.

A Writer's Book of Days
A Spirited Companion & Lively Muse for the Writing Life
A Writer's Book of Days is a holistic approach to being a writer that encompasses the physical, emotional, and spiritual as well as the creative aspects of writing.
Evocative daily writing prompts - culled from hundreds of writing workshops - open the door to your own creative process, leading you to better writing. To create new or enhance existing stories, poems, or writing of any kind, all you have to do is set a date for writing practice, open your notebook, and begin writing.
You'll learn:
- The ten daily habits that make a good writer
- What stuck looks like and how to get unstuck
- How to tell when the critic, censor, or editor is present and what to do about it
- How to transfer real life into fiction
- Where to find fresh images
- How to discover what you really want to write about.
A Writer's Book of Days can be counted on for encouragement, motivation, cheering on, and a never-ending supply of great ideas. It's a best friend, creative partner, and a portable muse all rolled into one.
