Livescribe for lifewriters

February 6, 2010

Today at the Stories from the Heart conference I co-presented a session called “Writing Promptly” with my dear SCN-sister Jude Whelley. We had a blast! Our session focus was a two-fold play on “prompt”: first, promptly and consistently getting down to the heart of your writing; second, using prompts to help you get un-stuck. It was [...]

SFTH: Finding our voices online

February 6, 2010

On Sunday I participate on a blogging panel at Stories from the Heart V. Our primary goal is to help lifewriters get started with blogging as a tool for sharing your stories. In an interactive session, we’ll all share how we got started, what worked for us and what didn’t, and tips to avoid some [...]

Setting up a simple Kindle book

December 29, 2009

Kendra over at WomensMemoirs.com posted an article recently that grabbed my attention. In A Merry Kindle Christmas, she pointed to Amazon’s announcement that, for the first time ever, e-books outsold print format books on Christmas Day. Wow! So Kendra’s point to her writing readers was that, while the digital publishing world is still undergoing significant [...]

Grandmothering is universal

December 20, 2009

I met the quintessential German grandmother on the train from Frankfurt to Hamburg. After boarding I noticed her stand up and wave to a young girl and woman on the platform. She waved heartily then made a sweeping motion, as if to say, “Go home! I’m on board the train, no more fuss is required.” [...]

Arriving in Germany

December 18, 2009

The trip from Houston to Frankfurt was largely uneventful. Thank goodness for mileage upgrades! 10 hours in the air crammed into coach seats would be bad enough, but we were on the tarmac for almost an hour waiting for takeoff (thanks to some very wacky Houston weather). I have only two complaints for this leg [...]

Fall in Colorado Springs

November 5, 2009

At the end of September I had the opportunity to visit Colorado Springs for a work event. I’ve been through CO Springs on my way to Denver or Fort Collins, but have never stayed and played. Granted, I was only there for 3.5 days, 2.5 of which were chock full of work. But the day [...]

Card of the year

November 4, 2009

So I have to come clean. I sent the same Halloween card to several girlfriends. When I was checking out at Target the checker gave me a hard time about being a lazy card buyer. I had to tell him, “No, it’s just THAT good.” See, I have an editor’s heart. I notice typos, grammatical [...]

A day at the airshow

November 3, 2009

Last weekend was the 25th Wings Over Houston airshow, and man was it cool! This year the Blue Angels were the feature air performance. If you’ve never had the opportunity to see the Blue Angels (or other military aviation demo team, like the Thunderbirds), it’s hard to explain the magnitude of coolness that these shows [...]

My blog gets a new home!

November 3, 2009

At long last, Becca’s Cyber Home has landed in its new location: www.beccascyberhome.com. You’ve probably also noticed a brand-spanking-new look to the site! I have to say I’m very excited about the new look. I did all of the graphics work myself because I wanted it to be *me*. I think I finally captured that. [...]
