A couple nights ago I was watching the new show “Trauma” with my hubby. In the episode, a building catches on fire and one of the EMT’s said something along the lines of ” at least we got here before the entire place burns down”. And being me (and a little strange), that triggered my memory and I asked my hubby, “Does a house burn...
Today is the final one of the 7 sins of creativity and writing. If you haven’t seen the rest, start with the first 6, lust, gluttony, greed, sloth, wrath and envy. Wrapping it up is pride. While taking pride in your work is important, too much pride is dangerous – so dangerous that pride is actually considered the original and most serious of...
So far, we have covered Lust and Gluttony. The next in line is Greed. Traditionally, Greed in the 7 sins stood for the desire for copious amounts of wealth and a person who would stop at nothing to acquire that wealth. Over time, greed has been more loosely associated with the desire for too much of anything. Whenever I think of greediness, the first thing that...
Yesterday, I started my 7 sins of creativity and writing with lust. Today, we are on to sin #2, Gluttony. Gluttony is traditionally defined as over-eating (either in amount of food or amount spent on food). In modern times, it has become more vague, and can be used to define anything done to an extreme. For example, a writer who writes too often and never gives...
Over the next 7 days, I will be covering the 7 sins of creativity, the things that you just can’t do if you want your writing powerful and your creative juices to stay strong. The idea was given to me by Andi, your online go to gal, one my blog readers. She created a fabulous series of the 7 sins of social media…and I...

On Monday, I posed the question: “What makes writing so important“. I was attempting to make the point that writing is a freedom that we are given, and that we often take it for granted, forgetting how we got to where we are. I examined the difficulty that it used to take to get your writing seen, and wondered whether the difficulty made that writing...

With Twitter, Facebook, Linkedin and more, it is so easy to forget how to communicate in a more personal manner. Emails are a quick way to send out thoughts or questions to someone, that means a little more than a direct message or a wall post. Most of us avoid email because we feel it takes too long, we have to write long messages, etc....
In the last few weeks, I have gotten some amazing two word responses to my two words on Tuesday. However, that was not my original plan for these words. Originally, I hoped that people would take my two words and either create a longer blog post with them, then link back, or to add a comment that does something with them…adds to them. But now, I...
