Hi! I’m AMO. Welcome.

My friend and writing coach, Lauren Sapala is offering a terrific course on The Creative Power of Intuition. Lauren is a fabulous teacher, and has helped guide me over many years. Her methods and insights are so helpful. If you’re ready to tap deeper into your own creative intuition, check out her work. This particular course is being offered one time only, and registration is open right now. Sign up at her website www.laurensapala.com. You won’t be disappointed! #writer #creative #intuition #notanaffiliatejustafan

Wednesday evening book antics. If you are a creative, a writer, or an artist, this book is such good medicine. I’ve been in a rut lately, this weird midlands of post-book apathy. Not sure what to do with myself, except get back to basics and start all over again. Oh my god, do I have to start over again?!? 😩😂 This gem by @elizabeth_gilbert_writer really helps get your head screwed on straight, and inserts a little steel in the spine. And y’all who know me know that I do believe in magic. Big Magic! Big BIG magic! This book is full of it, full of good energy, and will fortify your weary artist soul. Happy reading!

Looking for something to read? This one needs a little action. #library #librarylife #librariansofinstagram #writer #writersofinstagram #memoir #sexdrugsrocknroll #heavymetal #losangeles #truestory #nonfiction #adventuresofametalheadlibrarian #books #bookstagram #nowreading

I was in the basement all day under the false lights, and the general mayhem of my workday leaves me tapped out. I come home to wander my wildflowers and citrus blossoms and take pictures of my dog and talk to the hub and let the daylight and fresh air make me whole again. Much needed medicine. Home is my favorite place.

My Lemmy Tree gives good hugs.

I love stand-up comedy. It’s about the only thing I can sit still for. Last night @fortunefeimster had me howling out loud, then I shed a couple of tears at her absolute vulnerability and wonderful storytelling. Powerful, funny, heartful, heart fuel. Sweet & Salty. One of the best things I’ve watched in a while. #comedy #truth #funny #empathy #love

Friday agenda. (I wish)

I like things ‘just so’. I buy a certain brand of pasta sauce just so I can keep the glass jars, which I use for a multitude of things in the kitchen. This is my Virgo + OCD + ADD in action. 😂 I’m always in pursuit of efficiency. I need collections and systems to follow, otherwise chaos ensues and the whole ship goes down. And nothing helps the monkey brain more than taking the time to clean and organize and purge. I always feel more creative in a neater space, which is ironic because the housework never ends, so maybe this is the best way not to write the next book. Or maybe I write a book about creative housekeeping. Personally, I think it’s a lost art. #clean #organized #virgo #efficiency #notmarthastewart #heavymetalsoundtrack

Lonn’s in town to work on his next literary opus, and today we had a nice visit with a true music fan and real sweetie, @romanellefson2 . We all have some mutual musical history going way way back - some of which I write about in my book. It’s fun to catch up with him. He wants to be a sports agent when he’s done with school, but I’m trying to talk him into being my literary agent. 😂😂 Happy Sunday, friends! @instadude74 @julieellefson @davidellefsonbass @dannyzelisko
