The Klatch is where I talk to the elephant-in-the-room of my unconscious mind about all the dreams I’m not pursuing, over coffee, so that I might figure out how to go for an extra dream or two. See the Elephant Coffee Klatch page to find out more!
It’s been awhile, hasn’t it? :) But Erma has not let me be. She’s been stomping around & making noise in the background, and she’s been whispering all kinds of ideas in my head. (Erma is the “elephant in the room” of my mind, a representation of my creative dreams that I’m ignoring as they hang…
Hi there! <– That’s from me, but Erma says hi, too. (Erma is the “elephant in the room” of my mind, a representation of my creative dreams that I’m ignoring as they hang out in the back of my mind. You can find out more about Erma & the Klatch here.) Boy oh boy is she stomping…
Hello hello! Welcome to the first Klatch post of 2016! (For more about what the Klatch is, see this page.) I’ve got all kinds of ideas for the Klatch this year…Erma just won’t stay quiet these days, and she’s been stomping & swishing & tickling the inside of my mind with her tail, trying to…
This post is part of the Elephant Coffee Klatch series, where I get to know the creative “elephant in the room” of my subconscious. This “elephant” is a looming, unrealized dream (or dreams) that lingers in the back of my mind, one I try to ignore but that won’t let me. The Klatch is about…
So The Klatch is coming back. Klatch 2.0! Except it was never exactly a 1.0 version…more of a .5 version. But never mind that. Erma has swished—er, spoken—and I’m very, very eager to bring the Klatch back. Lots & lots more info to come in the coming days/weeks, but for now…I just needed to write…
It’s been awhile since Erma demanded attention, but she’s been stomping around a lot lately, so I had to have a chat wit her. And the best part? Now she wears a crown! I blame the Junk Gypsies. As I recently gushed, I found their site & love pretty much all of it. If I…
At the beginning of this year when I decided to try to figure out why I wasn’t making progress on my novel-writing dream, by acknowledging it as an elephant-in-the-room and naming said elephant Erma so that I could talk to her, little did I know how my bizarre approach would work. I knew it would…
In England, all the tube stations have signs and disembodied voices repeating the refrain “mind the gap!” over and over, warning people of that space between the train platform and the train car. That they so consistently and unceasingly remind people to “mind the gap” says that that gap is dangerous. Beware, lest you fall….
At the beginning of this year, in order to help me figure out why I wasn’t making progress on my writing-for-years-never-finished novel, I decided to recognize the elephant-in-the-room of my mind that represented this unfinished dream. I named her Erma. And decided to talk to her, get to know her, and see what insights I…

You know, no one ever tells you that when you have started to chase a dream, I mean really going for it and not just thinking about it or planning it, that it means you’re going to have to deal with anxiety. A lot of anxiety. For me, that currently-living-it dream is having my own…
