Writing is Hard Work
Why is writing so difficult?
There are lots of reasons. Some of it is mindset. Maybe you’re feeling anxious that day or out of sorts. You might be distracted with a busy calendar or feeling overwhelmed with other responsibilities. Or, it could be simpler: the location, time of day, hunger level, being tired, or my personal specialty, just procrastinating!
Horsing Around
Horses are amazing! Smart, intuitive, curious and, like all animals, have individual personalities. My dear friend, Karen Swezey, caught this one acting silly on camera. Pretty much the best horse photo I’ve ever seen!

One thing every author has to do is get a photo taken – for the book jacket, website, social media and marketing materials. Seems every time I plan to have my picture taken, the morning of, I get pimples, spill something on my outfit or my hair stands up in a weird way and cannot be tamed. It’s like clockwork.
Letting Go and Moving Forward
This blog started in preparation for my upcoming book, Spontaneous Revolutions: Seeing America One Pedal at a Time. I’m thrilled to be rounding the corner on the project, yet, I have to say, one of the hardest things I did was submit my manuscript. The finished book sat there for weeks before I had the courage to send it in.
