TiGi's Windfalls for Writers: May 2013

http://tigiswindfallsforwriters.blogspot.com/2013_05_01_archive.html

TiGi's Windfalls for Writers. Save yourself. Write anyway! Monday, May 27, 2013. I’ve read the advice, on both writing and caregiving. Advice on the two is often contradicting, impossible, guilt producing. The truth is it lulls me slowing into a funk. It is impossible. I can’t do it. I’m not stupid. I’m a realist, but I am also—a dreamer. With all that, this caregiving challenge has been the most devastating to my writing. I write to save myself. I write to be myself and find myself. It was what ...Somet...

TiGi's Windfalls for Writers: Crochet/Cross-stitching a Story

http://tigiswindfallsforwriters.blogspot.com/2014/01/crochetcross-stitching-story.html

TiGi's Windfalls for Writers. Save yourself. Write anyway! Monday, January 6, 2014. What a wonderful thing that all these years later I still have tea towels and dresser scarves embroidered by childhood friends (some of which I haven’t seen since) as I began married life. I still have stacks of tea towels and pillowcases, so I never truly forget these wonderful friends. And it got us to learn handwork and figure out that hand-made things are the best gifts.

TiGi's Windfalls for Writers. Save yourself. Write anyway! Wednesday, June 26, 2013. Getting back into the swing of things since returning from vacation has been difficult. The pile on my desk discouraging, most of all. The thought of tackling all the bits and pieces I brought back littering my desk is as bad as the flowerbeds needing attention. But if I’m to treat my writing seriously, I have to treat it like any other job and get to it. I’m actually excited to get back to work on my book though, ...

TiGi's Windfalls for Writers. Save yourself. Write anyway! Tuesday, March 26, 2013. Sometimes it feels like my goals are slipping from my grasp. Life comes along and bites me in the….butt. Yep, sometimes life sucks and when it does, it’s tough to stay the course. This is what I do:. Remember why I write? I love it, I can not write. I’ve never gone through anything without working with pen and paper. Mostly poetry, but those times are when the best poems come. It is what gets m through. A friend to talk t...

TiGi's Windfalls for Writers. Save yourself. Write anyway! Monday, November 25, 2013. We don’t receive wisdom; we must discover it for ourselves after a journey that no one can take for us or spare us. –Marcel Proust. It’s no wonder my mom and I became best friends. Friendships grow from shared experiences and circumstances, shared location and shared interests. We had all three. I was the only one still left at home when Dad died. I went through Dad’s illness along with Mom. I don’t remember what ...

TiGi's Windfalls for Writers: Writing Journal: Finding Detail

http://tigiswindfallsforwriters.blogspot.com/2014/01/writing-journal-finding-detail.html

TiGi's Windfalls for Writers. Save yourself. Write anyway! Wednesday, January 22, 2014. Writing Journal: Finding Detail. I’m reading along, enjoying a book, the description, the dialogue, the plot, then the writer does something that grabs me viscerally, snags my gut, or heart, or the base of my throat…Then, he/she does it again and again, until I’m there in that scene. That writer has me…for as long as he keeps writing, if he never forgets that one thing: Detail. Isn’t that why we read? You may have tan...

http://tigiswindfallsforwriters.blogspot.com/2013_07_01_archive.html

TiGi's Windfalls for Writers. Save yourself. Write anyway! Friday, July 19, 2013. I would say I have a doctorate in writing advice, if time spent, advice taken, practiced and improved counts for anything. Times have changed, though. Publishing has changed. Making money from writing has changed. Writers have had to change their approach. Lately, a lot. Writing is challenging at any time, but I’ve found having writing integrity has helped. What is writing integrity? I think now, that time of crisis, that t...

Heck, if all you dare commit to is ten words. Commit to them. Try to get to your computer or desk ten minutes earlier. Remember to take a break every hour and move, get a drink, stretch. Try to walk every working day. Being healthy as possible keeps the mind alert and function at its best. Don’t be satisfied with New Year...
