Listening for the Song

“Creativity requires us to become interested in something more than the version of reality we already know. It asks us to listen long enough to be surprised.” Rainier Wylde By: Gabriela Yareliz [Yesterday’s post which did not post through train signal sabotage] It’s autumn. 🍂 The sky is dark and stormy, and there is aContinue reading “Listening for the Song”

The Writing Life

“One of the things I know about writing is this: spend it all, shoot it, play it, lose it, all, right away, every time. Do not hoard what seems good for a later place in the book or for another book; give it, give it all, give it now. The impulse to save something goodContinue reading “The Writing Life”

People hate responsibility and ownership. TheyContinue reading “Popped”

We Remember

By: Gabriela Yareliz It’s the 25th year marking the anniversary of 9/11/01. We remember those on the planes who left those last voicemails and never landed at their destinations. We remember the brave ones who fought back. We remember those who went to the office and never came home. We remember the heroes of allContinue reading “We Remember”
