Okay, People. It’s September, Already.

Posted in books, character, food

Whew. September. I love it. Bring it on. School’s in. Trees still have leaves*. Tomatoes and peaches. Mmmm.
Remember how all 4 Kids are in school all day? (Insert giddy giggle here.) I have learned a few delightful truths these past few days. For instance, nothing coats your house in a blanket of Wholesome better than...

About Name-Dropping and Book Blurbs

Posted in RRO, books, character, reviews

So I’m having a problem.
What? You’re not surprised?
Here it is. My publisher has been doing a good job of getting word out about MRRO, getting me lots of blog interviews and having the book listed on lots of buying sites. The problem is the blurb.
It mentions Mr. Darcy.
Why is that a problem? Because the book,...

Irony

Posted in books, bookstores, character, events, irony, visiting

I did a fun event this weekend – at the lovely Purple Cow bookshop. Loads of cute families, and even one of my favorite families from Many Years Back! The crowd was delightful, and the women who work that shop LOVE their books and the kids who read them. Thanks, Isa, for having me! *Sigh*...

I get the rest...

More Writing?

Posted in character, rambles, writing

Do you know what this is? This? Right here? It’s Post # 300. I know. Stunning, right? To think that only two hundred and seventy-five of them have been meaningless drivel! It makes a girl so proud!

So I’m hanging in the lobby (because someone’s cleaning my room, perhaps, and also because here is the internet)...

Writing Again

Posted in character, writing

Sort of. Mostly for the past month, I haven’t written much longer than a blog post. Ack. It hasn’t really been in me. I know, I know… a woman of character writes whether or not she’s feeling it. Need we mention, once again, that I am not a woman of character?

But school starts tomorrow, so...

I Am At War

Posted in body image, character

The war cannot go unfought. I must eradicate the enemy, as it lurks, smooth and heavy, waving, taunting. I must destroy. This is war.

That may be a little strong. But this is going to be a fight. I am in a battle, anyway.

The enemy? Arm flab.

Eww. It causes my cool-mama casual waves to...
