 WRITER’S FORUM  WRITER’S UNION

                        WEBSITES HELPFUL TO WRITERS This is a series of posts which, I think, will be beneficial to writers. But first, I would like to include my usual warning about using websites. Whenever you check a website you are, in my opinion and I talk from experience, being put on a list for sale. So, expect the possibility of being bombarded by ads from companies you, perhaps, have…

Being seen, a prize draw, and my video

I had such fun seeing everyone last Wednesday when I did my reading – it was a good time and even my son seemed to think I hadn’t embarassed myself, which was a good thing. He is my ultimate judge. The video is linked here, but you can also click through to the Somewhat Grumpy Press Youtube site to see it. I trust my publisher in his infinite wisdom for doing that…Many thanks again to the…

It’s okay to say 'No'

It’s okay to say no. It’s okay to say no to someone you love. It’s okay to say no to a friend. It’s okay to say no to a parent or child. It’s okay to say no to a job or relationship. It’s okay to say no to sexual advances. And it’s okay to say no to a person who’s romantically interested in you. Even if it hurts someone’s feelings, even if you disappoint people, even if you’re judged and…

Ten Ways to Cope with Toxic News Cycles

Ten Ways to Cope with Toxic News Cycles

I went back and forth over how to title this post. “Unsettling” seemed too anemic a term to describe the insurrection that took place in the Capitol just four days ago. I rejected “apocalyptic” because while it may be true, it felt like hyperbole. “Revolutionary”, while also accurate, is a term most often used to describe the good guys. But “toxic” fit the bill. I’ve written about distraction…

IMPACT OF LACK OF SLEEP ON HEALTH Good health flaunts a gleeful life. Health is a major and the most important part and it needs full attention.

When your face sparks with a refreshing smile, you are living at your best…

On the exciting aspect of objects

Museum of Health Care, 32 George St, Kingston, ON I’ve been fortunate to be able to do some of the research for my books, Spit & Polish and the upcoming Bib & Tucker, at the Museum of Health Care in Kingston, ON. The curator there, the remarkable Rowena McGowan, shares with me a fascination with the history of objects. In a recent article in Synapsis, she wrote about the use of sputum bottles,…

My Focus Word for 2021

My Focus Word for 2021

I’ve been creating focus words and phrases for myself back before it was cool. Before you could readily find small stones with words carved into them, before there were organizations such as myintent.org. Sometimes I would assign an object my focus word as a reminder to myself. Sometimes I would simply decide that this would be the year of living with passion or joy. Since focus words have become…

The Difficulty--and Importance--of Resurrecting Good Habits

The Difficulty–and Importance–of Resurrecting Good Habits

A few years ago, I used to take a 30-40 minute walk on a near-daily basis. It was rare for me to miss a day, even when it was bitterly cold. The thing most likely to deter me was extreme heat and humidity (which we get more often than not now). Even then, I made it out there most days.

It wasn’t easy. I work long hours, and in the short time between getting home and going to bed, I have to feed…

I'm Not Okay, and I'm Not Alone

I’m Not Okay, and I’m Not Alone

No one in my immediate family has Covid-19. As an essential worker, I’m close to getting a vaccination soon. I have a job that pays my bills. I have an extremely supportive husband, whom I love very much. In two days, we’ll usher in a new president, and we’ll finally have adults in charge again. My health is relatively decent, all things considered. But I am not okay. Because the problems that…
