It was just a slap


I was captivated by this memoir. It is raw and honest and brought me to tears on occasion. I know Kathleen as a vibrant and articulate person and I was shocked by the depth of her emotional pain and the physical effects she has endured over decades. Her determination to finish this memoir is an inspiration.

How does a vibrant, playful child change into being a frightened, lonely and invisible teenager? Kathleen lost her childhood joy when her mother's anger and abuse terrified her. She found safety in becoming a people pleaser. At university she was drawn to Yoga and loved the philosophy and practices of self-development. They felt like a balm to her wounded Soul. Years later she trained as an Assistant Teacher in the Vipassana Meditation tradition.

Throughout her life Kathleen suffered from chronic poor health, fatigue and headaches. She tried many healing modalities before experiencing rapid improvement with the BodyTalk System of Healthcare.

Bodytalk so excited Kathleen she trained as a therapist immediately and built a small practice. She then faced an identity crisis – would she choose Vipassana or BodyTalk and Spiritual Healing?

Over the course of her life Kathleen searched for answers to her health issues, as well as her confusion about her life's purpose. She explored a variety of philosophies in an attempt to make sense of her life. She gradually pieced together an understanding of the emotional wounds that underlay her health and confidence issues. This memoir is an account of her journey to health and happiness and her mission to help others.

On Writing Chase Scenes

By Carolyn Howard-Johnson Author of  The Frugal Editor,  the winning-est  in her award-winning HowToDoItFrugally Series of books for writers This article is excerpted from some editing I did for a writer of experimental fiction when I was on a Greater Los Angeles Writers Society panel writer of any genre can apply these suggestions to the chase, getaway, or high action scene in your script or manuscript before you send it to an agent or publisher or, better still, while you are writing the first draft.  Sometimes even the most fascinating, interesting and irresistible  detail can slow down the forward movement of your story. So as much as writers are told that detail is important, purge as much as you can from your action scenes and put it somewhere else or dribble it into narrative in other places in your manuscript. In the process, ask yourself if your reader really needs to know the color of the protagonist’s eyes. As important as detail is, some is better left to t

Ampersands: Pretty Is as Pretty Does

   By Carolyn Howard-Johnson Author of the multi award-winning HowToDoItFrugally Series of books for writers   Have you noticed how ampersands turn to gibberish when they are entered into some blog services like Google's blogpsot.com? That is only the beginning of problems ampersands cause for editors, and publishers of all kinds. Many of the difficulties they cause go unnoticed except by the publishing pros we would all like to impress like agents, librarians, bookstore event directors, and the acquisition editors at Knopf!    That's why I added a new section to the second edition of the winningest book in my #HowToDoItFrugally Series of books for writers,  The Frugal Editor . Because ampersands seem to be so popular these days, it's especially important for editors and authors who publish books to know a little about their history, how to use them, and how gatekeepers and readers of Lynn Truss's famous zero-tolerance a

MARGARET FIELAND INTERVIEW (guest blogger)

When did you first know you were destined to be a writer? LOL, I never realized I was destined to be a writer -- I fell into it. I'd written poetry for years, collecting it in notebooks stacked in my attic when I wrote one I wanted to keep. This led me to several online sites and ultimately to discovering the Muse Online Writers Conference where I hooked up with Linda Barnett Johnson and joined her writers forums. She required everyone to write both fiction and poetry, so, with much trepidation, I started writing fiction. Then I got hooked on it, wrote a chapter book, took the ICL course and actually learned how to write it. Then in 2010, I was seized by a desire to write a sci fi novel, so I spent six weeks or so on world building, mostly, with a bit of plotting thrown in for good measure. Who would you cite as your influences? I'm a way-back sci-fi fan, and Robert A. Heinlein influenced me heavily. I took a lot away from his writing, notably the value of surpris
