Writing Tip #9: Write It As It Is
I’m often amazed how easy it is to tell a story to someone else, but the minute we switch into writing mode, the same story dies on the page. Writing too often equals overthinking.

As we worked on it together we kept getting lost in “crafting” sentences
Can Old Wounds Become Simple Gifts?
Last week I offered free recordings of my Inspirational Blogging class to the first three people to email me the words “I’m in.” I heard from Shirley, who shared with me much more than those two words. She told me about the death of her ex-husband and the power that 30-year-old memories can have.
