Novel-in-Progress: Rough Draft Complete
The other day when I was driving home, I saw the end scene of my novel. Today, I sat down and wrote the last 40 pages. Many, many Fridays.There are still a few scenes that I really want to include for which I haven't found a place yet. And the sentences -- oy, they're not good yet. And also? I think a bunch of the details don't yet agree. I haven't read the first few chapters in months. I can't remember some of the middle. So I'm no

Never, Ever, Ever, Ever, Ever Give Up
I remember last August reading Erin Kotecki Vest's post about her new job at BlogHer and being so jealous, even though I know Erin and I know how hard she worked to position herself for that job.I've struggled as a working parent. I hate the commute. I hated having the little angel be

Laura, Take a Bow
Once upon a time, I met a woman named Laura Mayes who shared my views on writing and publishing. I immediately liked her. She was cheerful and upbeat and ambitious and persistent. And today, she has a gorgeous, high-design book filled with wonderful writing and photography called Kirtsy Takes a Bow.

If This Writing Thing Doesn't Work Out, at Least I Can Fall Back on Diaper Cakes
This weekend we held The Baby Shower Heard Round the World for my best friend, Stephanie. I was asked to make a diaper cake for the shower. I looked it up online and found I would need 60 diapers rubber-banded together. 60 is, um, a lot.I was supposed to use newborn diapers, but I've heard Steph's husband was 18 pounds when he was born (okay, maybe a little less), so I went with size 1. If you don't want Elmo to show, fold the design up inside.
