Greetings from my Writer’s Hideaway, aka my red couch. (It was immortalized in “BreakupBabe: A Novel” as “the red couch o’ love” but it is now mostly the “red couch o’ TV watching.” And, of course, writing.)

There is a lot of that happening lately, from writing about my recent sea kayaking trip to Alaska to making progress on my second book. Who knows if these will ever see the light of day but what matters is that I write, right?

Meanwhile, I do have some classes coming up, so check the schedule! In January I’ll be teaching a class at Hugo House about battling your writing demons and becoming more productive – ooooh. I am an expert on this topic so you don’t want to miss it. (Plus I heard that Charles Mudede brings a bottle of wine to every class session he teaches there so I’m thinking of doing that too.)

I’ll also be teaching an online course about blogging again for the Editorial Freelancer’s Association this spring, so stay tuned for details on that.

Meanwhile I’ve posted an update (at last!) on SparklySparkly, where you can see videos of my pug, hear my band play, and find out just how I feel about Florida.
