Helping you uncover and write your best stories.
Our Mission
Whether you want to write stories of your life, stories about your career, your pets, an accomplishment or a challenge, Waystation Whistle will help you figure out what you want to say and how to say it.
Together we'll get it out of your head, onto the page.
Why write about your life?
- Write to revisit and capture an experience
- Write to share what you've done and the lessons you learned
- Write because you love to write
- Write because you want to be a better writer
I first discovered the power of stories by writing letters. It was a letter I wrote to my in-laws about the neighbor's chickens.
It was the equivalent of a home run for a letter writer.
When my in-laws received the letter, they called to say the letter arrived and asked about the chickens. And the next time we saw them ... they asked about the chickens.
It was the first time I'd started a letter with a story. My readers were hooked.
And so was I.
Waystation Whistle is designed to help you uncover stories in your life, whether it's a story about chickens, a trip you took, the business you started, that dinner disaster, or how you finally landed the career of your dreams.
Remember, people love stories, and you've got some good ones!
My first book, A Snail Mail Guide to Cursive Writing Practice, came from my love of letter writing. It's part memoir, part workbook for sharing stories through letters ... and a primer on cursive handwriting. I often talk with people who are interested in writing letters, but don't know who to write to or what to write about.
And they worry about their handwriting.
This book takes the mystery out of who to write to and what to write about, and offers the reassurance you need to write ... and not worry about your handwriting.
My second book, Things I Notice When I Walk the Dog came from avoiding the frustration I felt when I walked my scent-sniffing basset hound, Agatha. It's about learning to slow down and appreciate all there is to see along the way. It's a delightful picture book (suitable for all ages ... and all dog lovers) that will change the way you see the world around you.
