Cindi Handley Goodeaux

Me and half of my team were laid off last month. I had been there 27 years.

BIG LIFE UPDATE:

I’ve decided to follow my dream and move to Antarctica to open the world’s first-ever Penguin Café.

It’s called “Waddle it Be?”

We specialize in ice-cold lattes, fish-shaped scones, and snowcones.

So, Waddle it Be? 🐧 ☕️ 🧊

Have you heard? There’s a new bill that makes it harder for millions of eligible Americans to vote. Join me and @standupamerica.bsky.social in urging Congress to vote NO on the SAVE Act: act.standupamerica.com/letters/no-o...

How Deliberate Practice Can Develop Your Writing Skills and Talent | Jane Friedman Current research favors regular nurturing of a skill, as discussed in this excerpt from Deliberate Practice for Creative Writers by Jules Horne.

"… it’s good to examine … the theory that some people are … born geniuses in their field, while others get there through learning and practice. … one way of thinking is empowering, and the other is … disempowering."

Just started co-writing a dystopian with my sister lol

I’m in this process right now as well. That and asking ChatGPT ‘what if’ questions. I’m researching for what may become my first historical fiction. We’ll see.

Turning Literary Lemons into Lemonade Some children dream of becoming an astronaut, a world-famous singer, or perhaps a ninja/doctor (that last one was my son). My dream to become a prolific author began when I was 12 years old. I can rem...

As I’m sure many authors do, I get asked by aspiring writers how I got started. I often reply with this guest blog that I wrote about my journey www.rateyourstory.org/single-post/...

😍 “I believe in “Write What You Love,” writing about that which fills my mind and heart the rest of the time, through serious hobbies or interests my family wishes I could stop talking about...” 😍Tanya Konerman via #storystorm

Thanks for sharing that! It makes me feel pretty good about my weird WIP. 🙃

This was totally me as a child—I read the dictionary and thesaurus for fun! My love for them has only grown, and I still enjoy discovering obscure words. Now, words randomly pop into my head at all hours, and one of those late-night visitors inspired the MC name in my book Ishkabibble Unafraid. ❤️

By Day 4 of #Storystorm, inspiration struck with a story idea that wouldn’t let go! Instead of simply adding it to my growing list, I found myself diving into research and racing to keep up with the muse. Sometimes, when an idea demands your attention, you just have to follow where it leads! 💡

Storystorm 2025 Day 2: Jennifer Chambliss Bertman Makes It Fun by Jennifer Chambliss Bertman The idea of coming up with a new story idea (or 30!) can be intimidating. My favorite go-to tactic when I’m faced with an intimidating challenge is: make it fun. How c…

Today I'm a guest poster for #Storystorm! I shared a brainstorming game I play when I'm looking for new ideas. #kidlit taralazar.com/2025/01/02/s...

I used to buy a special one every year. But now, I have a Kindle scribe so I just set up a Storystorm notebook. The benefit is that I have all the notebooks together and I (probably) won’t lose them lol

Yay! I’m so ready! Storystorm has trained my brain to find inspiration everywhere!! Let’s go! 😍

My Christmas gift this year is extra special—a beautiful ASL “I Love You” necklace, just like the grandmas wear in my Grandmas Rock! book. I absolutely love it! ❤️🤟

According to Amazon Music, I’m in the top 7% of Bob Marley listeners—and I’m not surprised. His music has been my refuge on stressful days, a calming rhythm when anxiety runs high. Bob’s songs are always there, reminding me to take a breath and feel alright. 💜

Aww! A (temporary) living ornament! 💜 It brought back memories of my childhood in Alabama, watching my dad chase a squirrel around the living room while I stood in the doorway, laughing like a loon. Of course, I was rooting for the squirrel the whole time—what a hilarious scene that was! Lol!

About 24 hours ago, Glenn and I heard odd sounds, and suddenly a bird flew out of the kitchen! After many failed attempts to shoo it, we resumed today. Glenn guided it while I opened the door, and it flew out the moment it saw sunlight. I cheered as it left—it felt like a special visit from my dad.
