Books I love from 2015

Favorite Reads of 2015 – all set in England

By Myrna CG Mibus / December 18, 2015

A writing group I belong to, Write on Mamas, is compiling a list our favorite books from 2015. I just sent in my list and realized the three titles I sent in all have something in common – they are all set in England. I don’t believe I’m making a special effort to pick British books to read…

On Riding, Writing and Sitting Still

By Myrna CG Mibus / November 14, 2015

Note: This post was also published on my Idyllwild blog. I’m on a writing retreat at the Anderson Center in Red Wing and took a break from my writing yesterday and this morning to get out and ride the Cannon Valley Trail.

Essay Submitted!

By Myrna CG Mibus / November 13, 2015

I just sent off an email to an editor of an online literary publication asking her to consider publishing an an essay I wrote about my Dad. I’m both excited and nervous to have sent it out to someone. Mostly nervous, I think. I’m not so much nervous about whether the essay gets accepted or not…

I Have Time to Write!

By Myrna CG Mibus / October 31, 2015

I’ve been lamenting that I don’t have time to write for, well, probably years now. In recent months I’ve made progress in discovering some of my roadblocks to finding writing time (like lacking a morning routine). I’ve been blocking out time on my calendar to write and have had some success with that but still…

By Myrna CG Mibus / October 30, 2015

I love books so I’m super excited to say I have a new part-time job working in a local independent bookstore – Content Bookstore in Northfield, Minnesota. Content opened about a year ago when a friend of mine, Jessica, purchased the bookstore known as Monkey See, Monkey Read, moved the inventory into a bigger space in downtown…

Morning Routine and Writing Time – a work in progress

By Myrna CG Mibus / October 13, 2015

Since I wrote about writing time in my last blog post, I have realized that one of my roadblocks to finding writing time is that I struggle to get up in the morning. I have found I can find time to write if I simply get out of bed and stay out of bed. What often happens,…

I have a Writing Space, now what about Writing Time?

By Myrna CG Mibus / September 25, 2015

I’ve gone through a lot of work to create a great writing space in my home office in the past year. Just this morning, I tackled one last cluttered spot (okay, I could tackle the closet but for now I’m just keeping the door closed) and have a clutter-free space in which to write. It…

Talking to Dad

By Myrna CG Mibus / July 26, 2015

Mom and I were invited to a bridal shower today (my cousin’s daughter is getting married). It isn’t easy for Dad, who has some dementia (most likely Alzheimers) to stay at home on his own, so Mom brought Dad on over to my house to hang out with Owen and Ryan while Mom and I attended the shower (Rose…

Z is for Zotz

By Myrna CG Mibus / July 22, 2015
