This morning in a moment of weakness I decided to at least glance at an author’s blog that I usually enjoy (currently I’m in strict off-blog mode so I can do my work), and I found a fight going on that really makes me sick to my stomach. I won’t tell you which blog [...]
Yes, I know it’s Tuesday Book Club tomorrow, but it’s almost 10:00 PM here, and I’m being picked up at 7:30 AM tomorrow to begin a day with three school visits in Palo Alto, CA (truly a gorgeous place), set up by Kepler’s Bookstore (truly an AMAZING place), and so I’ll be busy talking my [...]
Someone brought this post to my attention. It’s by a literary agent, and I think there’s a lot of value in what she says–especially if you’re feeling, as she said, paralyzed by fear that you’re not doing things right. It goes back to what my favorite writing teachers told me: write it, [...]

And thank you, Barry, for the link!

Yes, I know–I’ve missed it, too. But I’m torn: on the one hand, it’s really, really good for me to have my brain fully in my current project, and basically cut myself off from the world for a while. That’s just how it works best for me. On the other hand, [...]
I’m still on indefinite blackout, but I read your comments from today on the last post, and yes, here I am, and I might as well tell you I’m in Colorado right now, getting ready to do a school visit on Thursday, and it was supposed to be this fun time with husband and dogs, [...]
Remember this?
I realized what I need here is a placeholder. So if you feel the need to speak to me or each other, here’s your spot for a while. I can’t promise I’ll be on it right away, but I will cruise by every now and then to see what’s shakin’.
Okay, back to [...]
Hey there, all my blog friends. The time has come for me to write a new book–and it’s going to be a long one. And much as I love checking in with you here and there, especially on Tuesdays and Fridays, I realize I need all of my writing and thinking muscles to [...]
