Absent Minded Mom Award
If there was such an award, I’d be a winner. I had told my daughter we were going to a friend’s birthday party yesterday. I had a reminder on the refrigerator. I even spoke to the mother of the girl last week and said we would be there. We chatted a bit how there was…
Family Ties
A few weeks ago I wrote an email to my dad sharing my real feelings about certain promises he’s made and never followed through with recently and over the years. The story is long, and I won’t bore you with the details, but I will say that my father left our family when I was…
The Myth of the Author
“What?!” you say. “But an author is almost like God. Authors create a universe and inhabit it with people and weave the tapestry of their fates.” Just stop, okay? Besides being borderline blasphemy, it isn’t that simple. Sure, authors have a tremendous role in the creation of their book, but they are hardly like God…

I Did It!!
I sent in my Genesis entry at 12:10 am on the 14th!!! I can’t believe I’ve been sitting at this computer since 2:30 this afternoon, er…yesterday after noon with only a couple of snuggle breaks for my neglected four year old, several more bathroom break and a quick break for dinner! And all the time…
Ten Reasons Why You Didn’t Email Your Genesis Entry by April 15th
I needed a quick diversion before my final read through. 10. You were too busy doing your taxes. 9. Your critique partners didn’t get your entry back to you in time. 8. You spent all your time looking up grammar rules on line, making sure your ands had the proper comma placement. 7. You realized…
Five Questions and Answers
Beck asked if anyone wanted her to interview them and I must not have been in my right mind because I said yes. If I had been in my right mind I would have know that Beck would come up with some creative questions that would take a little more thought than I’m used to.…
