I say yes. I’ve been thinking about this since reading Heather Harper’s post a few days ago.
For about the past eight years I’ve been doing a practice called Morning Pages. It’s one of the fundamentals of Julia Cameron’s The Artist’s Way–a book I highly recommend (okay, insist) that every writer in the world [...]
I can totally relate to what Patrick is talking about. I have this weird need to learn obscure survival skills. I know how to make fire by rubbing (actually, whirling) two sticks together. I can set a broken leg with branches and a fleece coat. I learned what to do if [...]
I got this great question from Marie this morning, and I was going to write her a long answer by e-mail, but I realized some of you might like to know the answer, too.

Yes, there are parts of the new movie Step Up that may seem . . . predictable. Even cheesy.
SO WHAT?!? Are you such a big shot you can’t enjoy a few hours of TOTAL KICKASS DANCING? And incredible music? Are you so important and intellectual that you can’t smile and tap [...]
I was having this discussion with my husband’s cousin today, who’s here visiting us from Germany. He just finished law school and is taking a much-needed and deserved break.
