It’s incredible what an incentive this is for me to keep reading every time I have a spare minute. Nothing like the pressure of reporting to all of you to keep me going. Thanks for giving me that extra boost.
This week I read Laura Fitzgerald’s lovely, romantic, culturally fascinating Veil of Roses, about [...]
I’m leaving tomorrow for the Sundance Film Festival in Park City, Utah, where I will be running on Starbucks and Advil for five days as I see three or four movies per day, beginning at eight every morning.
Because it’s FUN.
And also because it’s one of the best things I do for my writing career. [...]
Finish writing your novel, you get to go camping. That was the deal I made with myself. Sure the forecast calls for cold and rainy–and your point is?
So I’m packing up the husband, the dog, the niece and nephew, adding some firewood, hot chocolate, and marshmallows, and it’s off into the wild. [...]
I just finished writing my new novel last night! HURRAY!!!
There are few things more satisfying than getting to “The End” and meaning it. That book took me WAY longer than I expected it to, but it obviously needed all that extra time, because when I finally did reach The End it felt right. [...]
Because one of the purposes of this blog is to help people with their homework (kidding–please do NOT send me calculus questions), I promised Christen I’d post this reading list for one of her Master’s library classes. She would like the brain bank of the readers of this blog to help her figure out [...]
Okay, okay, I get the hint. Obviously we all need to have read The Time Traveler’s Wife by Audrey Niffenegger so we can talk about it here once and for all.
So here’s the deal: we will have a bloggie group discussion about the book two Tuesdays from now, on January 30. That [...]
Anyone who’s finished a book (or more) this week, sound off.
Mine was Floor Sample, a creative memoir, by Julia Cameron.
I’m telling you, having this Tuesday deadline keeps me reading all week long, even when sometimes I feel like slacking. Hope it’s working for you, too.
Okay, your turn. Report in.

I’m having one of those “is it me?” experiences.
The last time this sort of thing happened, I was booted from the College of Education because of something I wrote on a test. I thought it would have been clear to absolutely anyone that what I wrote was a joke, but the dean of the [...]
Dang. I said I wasn’t going to post anything new until at least eight more lurkers stepped forward and said hi, but this is just too juicy to keep to myself.
I don’t know where to start. Is it the fact that once again a school district has bowed to pressure like [...]
Thanks to Liz at A Chair, A Fireplace, and A Tea Cozy, I now know that this is National Delurking Week.
So if you’re a lurker here, you are apparently required by federal law to post at least a “hi” in the comments today. You know I take rules very seriously.
Thank you, Liz, for the [...]
