Why can’t I get more writing done?…Nothing I write is any good.
I had my novel published, so what, now I have to prove I can keep producing.
As a writer, do you ever feel like you are never satisfied? Are you always discontented?
If you are, you are not alone. Most writers and creative types are known [...]

The Love Boat is Sailing for our February Party
February and March can be challenging months to endure. I look out my window to piles of deep snow and the temps are dropping one more time. Even if you live where the weather is more pleasant, this can still be a difficult time of year when [...]

My name is Anne Tyler Lord. I have been many things in my life, but right now, I only know I must write. I'm exploring new worlds and I don't like fences. I like to roam where I am led by my poetry, fiction and whatever else.
I have adopted the motto, "Don't Fence Me In," to remind myself to take risks, to do what is in my heart, and to expand my world when old habits take over.
I'm a genre-jumper. I write what inspires me, sometimes it is humor (often is), romance (a big one), suspense (always like to add in the mix), horror (but not too scary), animal stories (cat fanatic), slice of life (love family drama), scifi (for a change of pace), historical (1930s-60s intrigues me), spiritual (Buddhist influences), or memoirs (lotta stories to tell). Oh, and it would be nice to be published someday, too;))
What I Blog
In addition to fiction and poetry, I draw from my psychotherapy background, and life with cats & kids, to write posts to inspire writers to unleash their creativity. Read more about me here.
So, join me, you won't be sorry.
