The End – Roll Credits?
This is the 8th blog post in my screenwriting series, it all started here Day 19 - I finished the first draft!!!! I am printing it out as we speak, er, as I write this! It’s short in the word count department, but the beginning and the end of my story met in the middle and the pieces are in place. It’s definitely a first draft. A really rough first draft. I know that there are huge plot holes, (ha ha, plot holes, instead of potholes? Is that a thing people... Read More
Interview with Melora Hardin, Actress, Director & Multi-Passionate Performer
Here’s my interview with Melora Hardin, Multi-Passionate Performer, Director & Hot Mogul: Melora Hardin is probably most recognized for her portrayal of “Jan Levinson”, Steve Carell’s rigid former boss and love interest, on the hit NBC series, “The Office,”. She most recently starred in back-to-back #1 weekend theatrical box-office features in “17 Again” opposite Zac Efron and “Hannah Montana: The Movie” alongside Miley Cyrus. Melora also recently...

Social Media Sabbatical- Update Month 3
3 MONTHS — It’s hard to believe that I’ve been completely off of Facebook and Twitter for this long. [If you want to read Part 1 of my Social Media Sabbatical, click here, & Part 2 Social Media Sabbatical Day 30-ish click here] It’s become normal. I don’t tweet. I don’t cruise Facebook updates every other second. It’s really kinda nice. There have been mornings, when I’m sitting at the kitchen counter, enjoying my Chocolate Teeccino and my husband...

Social Media Sabbatical
So, I’m not entirely sure how I decided that I needed a Social Media Sabbatical, like, right this very minute, but I just asked my good friend Melani to change the passwords on my Facebook & Twitter accounts and had her promise not to tell me what they are, no matter how much I might beg and plead until next year. January. 1st. 2012. Whaaaaaa? How am I going to do this? I think I might be cheating already. Because I’m writing this before I’ve actually... Read More
Yeah, I’m Lazy
I joke quite a bit about being lazy. I get a lot done, but I also treasure my downtime. My friends make fun of (and my daughters despise) my “one thing a day” rule. I don’t like to be over scheduled, so I always build in plenty of time to relax, or if that’s just not possible when I’m working on a big deadline, I make sure to plan something FUN as soon as my deadline is met. The other day my youngest daughter said; “Hey Mom, I heard your... Read More

Magical Weekend Pt. 2
Here’s the last little bit of our magical weekend. I had no idea when I put those silly pictures on my vision board that I would somehow magically attract this incredible experience. An author so rarely gets to see how their work affects other’s lives. To see the words I wrote highlighted, underlined and *starred* was one of the most memorable moments I’ve ever had. I want you to go write something down right now that will make you feel this good inside... Read More
Be the *Rock Star* of Your Life
Do you feel like the Rock Star of your life? Do you want to be? First, let me give you my definition of Rock Star. I’m not talking about trashing hotel rooms and drinking until you fall down. I’m talking about living your life with arms wide open, embracing your Biggest Self and then letting your Unique-ness come out to play on a daily basis. It means living at the top of your game. It means operating your life on a very high level, whether you are standing on a stage or... Read More
3, 2, 1, Happy – Today!
Many of the high-achieving go-getters that I work with forget to celebrate after a big accomplishment. This is a crucial step in your success. You must tell the Universe how wonderful it is to have completed this amazing goal and take a moment to relish in the joy and bliss of your success. And then, from that clear space you can begin to map out what is next for you. (but that’s another article). This week is all about the celebration. Now, since you probably haven’t... Read More
