who-we-are may damn
The music we listen to may not define who we are. But it’s a damn good start.
together world changing-the-world
Some women are meant to change the world while others are meant to hold it together.
pain past ego
Music therapy, to me, is music performance without the ego. It's not about entertainment as much as its about empathizing. If you can use music to slip past the pain and gather insight into the workings of someone else's mind, you can begin to fix a problem.
block believe writing
I don't believe in writer's block. Think about it - when you were blocked in college and had to write a paper, didn't it always manage to fix itself the night before the paper was due? Writer's block is having too much time on your hands.
rip writing feelings
You need to learn to write on demand, and to get critiqued without flinching. When someone can rip your work to shreds without it feeling as though your arm has been hacked off, you're ready to send your novel off to an agent.
beautiful toxic beautiful-things
Even the most beautiful things can be toxic.
family morning fall
I woke up one morning thinking about wolves and realized that wolf packs function as families. Everyone has a role, and if you act within the parameters of your role, the whole pack succeeds, and when that falls apart, so does the pack.
writing might pages
You might not write well every day, but you can always edit a bad page. You can't edit a blank page.
process publishing
I have several writer friends, but I don't involve them in my work process. I'm more likely to talk about the business of publishing with them.
sister sibling loss
If you have a sister and she dies, do you stop saying you have one? Or are you always a sister, even when the other half of the equation is gone?
death heart loss
How could you go about choosing something that would hold the half of your heart you had to bury?
growing-up kids thinking
Kids think with their brains cracked wide open; becoming an adult, I've decided, is only a slow sewing shut.
lonely people rooms
Did you ever walk through a room that's packed with people, and feel so lonely you can hardly take the next step?
expectations what-if world
If you spent your life concentrating on what everyone else thought of you, would you forget who you really were? What if the face you showed the world turned out to be a mask... with nothing beneath it?
