Tap… Tap… Tap.

Posted in spring is coming, writing process

Oh, mercy.
This is going to take forever.
Do you know how there are some days when it all clicks? Whatever it is you’re doing, it just sort of happens? Those days are good, right? I have those days when I’m writing. Sometimes I can bust out a thousand words in an hour. One very memorable not-so-long-ago...

16: Inches of snow left in the “shady corner” of my front yard.

9: The hour I require them to be out of bed.

5: Exclamation points...

A Bit of Random

Posted in books, bookstores, familyness, recommendation, spring is coming, writing

Wha? It’s April?

Posted in events, spring is coming

Okay, so the calendar is getting the better of me (also, it’s snowing, so I can be forgiven for thinking it’s maybe still February, right?) but I wanted to tell you this:
I will be at the remarkable King’s English Bookshop in Salt Lake City tomorrow (April 6th, as in the Sixth of APRIL) at 6:00,...

Look!

Posted in gratitude, spring is coming

Yesterday it was a thin layer of icy snow.
Today? Slickshiny mud, with a small fat red tulip-tip peeking out. And another. And another. It may be just one corner, but it is happening. It is coming. It is.

MUD

Posted in silliness, spring is coming

I saw some. Yesterday, as I was picking up Kid 4 from his buddy’s house, I stepped out of the Mighty MiniVan, right into one of my favorite things: Squishy, squelchy mud.

Oh, mud. I love you. I love your fudge-brownie color. I love your smell — that mix of dirt, mulch, water and hope. Hope...
