Revisions

It’s Revision time. I know some writers hate revisions, but I love them. In theory, it’s like doing a critique on a book you already love. I’m hoping reality will be as good! Husband told me I’ve neglected to say much about The New One being published by Shadow Mountain. Here’s what I know. It’s

A Vacation Event

This is a little thing I just wrote, about my take on an unscheduled event during our vacation. This all (sort of- with my artistic license) happened to Kid 1, in a life-changing way. I was there, but only sort of. By the time anything became remotely dangerous, I was jogging up the beach with

Who, Me? I’m Flattered, Honestly.

My bloggy-friend L.T. Elliot over at Dreams of Quill and Ink sent me my very first blog award. Would you like to know that I didn’t know blog awards existed until a month ago? Wasn’t that an honest statement? This award has 4 requirements: 1. Thank the person who gave you the award, list her

Good News! I Saw a Dog Today!

Okay, not really, I just love that line from “ELF” – don’t you? But, I do, in fact, have good news. I’ve sold another book to Shadow Mountain! Yeah, huh? I’ll just wait over here while you cheer for a while. Ok, that was nice of you. Thank you very much. As far as details

Funny Words

I love words. Not in a grammar-snob sense (although I do cringe when phrases like “we seen” and “we gone” come out of mouths employed by my children’s school district…). Just good words make me happy. Words like ill-gotten. Unfettered. Nether regions. Persnickety. Crapulent. Vague. Apothecary. Food words make me happy too: Garnish. Capers. Saute.

Things I May Not Have Known Before

Even after Best Vacations Ever, it feels good to be home. A totally loaded-up 1998 Chrysler minivan holding many dirty kids and much luggage can still go 91 miles per hour in the Columbia Gorge. A ticket in Oregon for 91 in a 65 zone is $465. There are nice, generous, polite , soft-spoken sheriffs’

Strange Thing

I love in a little neighborhood, in a cul-de-sac*. There are nice neighbors here. It’s quiet, usually. But sometimes people do strange things. For instance? Once I saw my neighbor, let’s call her Natalie** standing next to her car – on her lawn. I was, naturally, worried – what had happened? Oh, nothing. As it
