articles about writing
The wayfinder introduces articles about navigating the ever-repeating stages of writing and creativity: wander, wonder, ponder, and persist, including these:
- making the most of your writing repertoire
- how to reinvent yourself
- directionless is not pointless
- notice what you notice
- writing without words
articles about places
The outer journeys I take and the inner journeys they prompt often find their way into articles I write about places and people, including these:
book recommendations and reviews
Books I find particularly excellent are listed on the books I love page, as I discover them, and also in my Amazon bookstore, which includes more (including movies), organized by topic. I also occasionally write book reviews of books I recommend.
curious products for writers
Wayfinding products can be found in the shop: creativity prompts to poke the muse into action, a light-hearted ebook about healthy boundaries – stay afloat when they’re rocking your boat, and information about my writing services.
