I know. It’s been a while since I posted here or wrote a blog post that wasn’t for a client.
Maybe it’s because I was busy juggling client work and finishing a feature length script, but that script was completed and entered into screenwriting competitions last fall. Maybe I didn’t feel I had anything to say. Maybe I hated the “improvements” made by WordPress. Or maybe it was a combination of all these things.
The truth is I got lazy, and time flies—even during a pandemic.
I didn’t even realize a year had passed since Lori Widmer asked me to write a guest post for her Words on the Page blog. I finally wrote that post, which went up yesterday. It was inspired by a bunch of mini-profiles I worked on over the past few months. The process involved asking successful people what they felt were their biggest accomplishments of the past year, and why those achievements were so important to them.
If you want to read some of those mini-profiles…

Looking ahead
Sometimes it pays to sit back and let ideas evolve, but time really does fly by. I can’t believe it’s been almost two years since my previous blog post here.
I’ll try to do better in the future.
