Photo via Visual Hunt. Used with permission. Someone asked me recently, knowing that I was a writer and knowing I wrote mostly non-fiction and knowing that I often wrote about difficult things, whether I wrote for healing. As in, was writing a cathartic way of lancing a few boils? I

I knew nothing about self publishing when I decided to book this blog and publish it as the Love & Other Brave Acts. Nothing. Nada. Zip. Actually, that’s not true. I knew nothing about self publishing (other than: I’m quite IT savvy so how hard could it be?) and a
Keep readingThis is just a quick note to let you know that I will still be blogging weekly, but I will be posting on Thursdays in 2015, not Wednesdays. Keep your eyes peeled for a new post tomorrow!
Keep readingA couple of weeks ago I posted about my failed attempt to participate in NaNoWriMo and how I decided to become a NaNoRebel and do NaBloPoMo instead. Given that we are more than half way through November, I thought I would give you an update as to how I’ve fared

Keep readingI love this time of the year because the WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2013 annual report for The Diane Lee Project. Here’s an excerpt: A San Francisco cable car holds 60 people. This blog was viewed about 3,200 times in 2013. If it were a cable car, it
Keep readingI discovered my love for the craft of photography last year. I wanted to be a better photographer because I go overseas annually. I’ve mentioned here before that only one in ten of my photos from my Vietnam trip in 2010 were what I’d call any good, so I wanted

Keep readingI am receiving emails like this on an increasingly regular basis. And I get it. Publishing your work has never been easier and it’s relatively cheap – if not free – to do so, especially if one goes down the eBook path. Amazon allows you to create your own eBook
Keep readingI’ve just completed another term at the Centre for Creative Photography, where we essentially looked at different genres. What I loved about this term was that I really nailed my style. I am a formalist. Simply put: I love lines. And I have a little of the urban landscape photographer
