Life coach for writers

Friday, November 3rd, 2006

Are you stuck in your writing? Career not going where you want it to? Are you questioning whether or not you really want to write a novel?  Even if you don’t feel plagued by self-doubt, a brief conversation with Lori Chance can give you insight about yourself and your goals. Lori is a life coach for writers and she can help you discover what you really want.  I had the opportunity to watch her in action at the InspiredAuthor chat tonight.  By asking simple, but specific questions, Lori helped a freelance writer overcome her hesitation about writing a fiction piece. Someone commented that it was like therapy, but Lori explained that therapy tends to look at the past and coaching focuses on the future. Lori is a delightful lady and the chat gave the participants a good deal of food for thought.

RSS fun and frustration

Saturday, October 21st, 2006

I’ve been having the devil of a time getting my RSS feed link right. I’m a real n00b when it comes to playing around with php and other code, although I can do fairly well with html. I’m also trying to master CSS.

So I’ve spent the last two days trying to figure out why the title of my blog wouldn’t show up in my RSS feed.  I think I’ve found a solution for that.    I also had to fix the feed url because the default php code in WordPress didn’t seem to work right. Again, I think I’ve solved the problem. 

Now I can get back to working on my NaNoWriMo project.  Allison Brennan, one of the Murder She Writes crew, says good habits take time to establish.
