Welcome guests! Here you will find information for writers and about the writing life as well as details about me, my workshops and archived episodes for “Take Charge of Your Life.”

If you want to improve your life…
Visit my Community of Change website where you'll find tools and suggestions for integrating change into your life and information about my "Rut-Busting"™ Workshops.

Also, my Make a Change blog will offer weekly tips and ideas from me and other experts to help you "bust outta your rut"! Check in on January 1st for my interview with Sheri Riley, founder and chief partnership strategist of GLUE Inc. and creator of Exponential Living L.L.C. (For more life-changing insights, listen to the archived episodes from my radio show "Take Charge of Your Life.")

If you need a writer…
You’ve got an article or corporate assignment. You need a writer who is creative, professional and deadline-oriented. You need…me! My credits include both magazine and web site articles as well as corporate projects, and my background covers a wide range of topics, categories and industries.

If you are looking for an interesting and dynamic speaker…
My writing classes and “Rut-Busting”™ Workshops are just what your attendees need to kick-start their life or develop their abilities. My workshops are enlightening, educational and entertaining, but don’t just take my word for it! Read what others have said about my Rut-Busting™ Workshops and Writing Workshops and Courses.

If you’re a writer…
The Writer's Place is where you need to start. Here you'll find updates on conferences and resources to improve and inspire you. And at One on One — Insights Into the Writer's Life at The Writer's Place, I'll be interviewing authors and writers for a behind-the-pen look at how they live the writing life. This month, our guest is Dianne Schwartz, author of Whose Face Is In The Mirror?.

Be sure to join in at The Writer's Place blog where you can share your tips, thoughts and observations on writing and the writing life and get weekly "inspiration injections" to keep you going! On January 14, celebrated interior designer and author Xorin Balbes will share tips on how to create a practical workspace that also nurtures our creativity.
