The Playground Vs the Work Place!
The last post I wrote about bullying in the workplace prompted a lot of people to come forward and say they have been victims of bullying by a boss. When I have conversations with my daughter about the school playground, then conversations with family and friends about their workplaces, these conversations have a lot of similarities. In both scenarios there can be hierarchy backstabbing, gossiping etc. However in some instances children are often spoken to by teachers in a more respectful way than how line employers talk to employees.

Avoiding Disenchantment
Today I was sent an anonymous ask over on theinkstainsblog Tumblr page asking the question: how can I stick with a story even when I lose interest with it, and how can I know this is the right story for me if I'm getting bored? Now, sticking with our stories is something I bet an awful lot of us struggle with at times (god knows I do) so I think this is something that’s important for us to focus on. I’m going to split the answer into three main parts in order to give proper focus to the question - how to stick with a story during writing, how to keep your excitement for a story, and how to know if this is the right story for you so keep an eye out for parts two and three!

Learning the Art of Patience: 6 Tips for Life
Whether you have hit a halt in your life or are experiencing a drastic change that is making you question who you are and where you are heading, I am urging you to have some patience with yourself. The movies and our dreams often have a funny way of deluding us about our paths in life. By this age I'm going to have this or that, and all before I'm thirty. Unrealistic and very fanciful. The ugly truth is that all things, especially the really great ones, take time.

When Your Passion for Writing Loses Its Luster
I don’t think there is an artist out there who has not gone through the following impasse: “Why am I doing this, wasting my time trying to get folks to appreciate my work and putting so much blood, sweat and tears into something I no longer find enjoyable?”

Trying to Figure Out What to Be When You Grow Up?
Did you know you get to decide what you want to be when you grow up several times during your life? Well, really as many times as you want, but there are a few mile markers. Like when you are six and, like my daughter, you want to grow up and live in the mall. Or when you graduate from high school and you have no clue what you want to do with your life. Or when your children graduate and move away from home and you still have no clue what you want to do with your life. Or when you retire and you thought you'd figured it out and you tried several things and they were fun for a while, but now you have all this amazing freedom!

Rapid Book Releases
Before the surge of ebooks, the traditional publishing format allowed for one new book release a year. That's right, readers (me included) used to wait a full year for the next book in much beloved series - I still do, along with lots of other readers. That's the kind of devotion great stories bring out in people.
