I received the storyboard drawings of scenes from my memoir created by Fabricio on Monday. I feel propelled even further along my writing journey as a result of taking that step--hiring someone to listen to my story and paying him to render it for me visually. I...
I may be the last person on earth to have the Foo Fighters enter my awareness, but now I'll never forget them. The NYTimes has an article in today's paper with a most heartwarming story and links to a video request and response that are unforgettable. I often...

In my final class at Gotham Writers Workshop this week, my very smart instructor Melissa Petro, gave us the rundown on getting published. Among the crowd in the room, we listed nearly 40 magazines we might pitch with our articles. Melissa reminded us, "Know your...
Yes. You read that right. It's on Jenn's business card and all of her educational materials. She helps people, brilliantly in my experience, become allies to the LGBT community, particularly in the business world. I bought two of her books, But You Don't Look...
I know that I need to take time away from my day-to-day life to get perspective, try something different, and 'change the walls' as one friend says. That's why I signed up to attend the Iowa Summer Writers Festival way back in mid-April when the weather was still...
Liz Ball of TFI Envision hosted 20+ Artsy Girls at her magnificent home in Stamford last night. Our quarterly events are occasions for women who are nationally recognized for their creative talents to gather, be inspired and share successes. An hour or so into our...
