I’m still writing. And writing. And writing. And I’m in Hawaii doing all this writing all day, every day. I wouldn’t mind writing here in Hawaii if it weren’t for the fact that my boys go back to Seattle tomorrow and I’ll miss them. And then on Thursday I’ll go back to Seattle and I’ll […]

Friday Night Date
With the keyboard, that is. I’ve spent a lot of time at my desk these past two weeks and nearly all attached to my computer keyboard, trying to somehow make sense of this story that right now still seems bigger than me. The good news is that tomorrow I start chapter 16. The great news […]
Wrapping Up
I’m sitting at Newark waiting to board my flight back to Seattle after a weekend in New Jersey for my final Mrs. Perfect book events. I feel like it’s the last day of school before summer after a hectic round of exams. No more traveling to promote Mrs Perfect, no more book clubs, no more […]
Hump Day
It’s Wednesday, which is the work week hump day but I’m feeling heat that it’s Wednesday and I don’t have enough done. However, the world keeps turning and things keep happening like The More magazine issue with me in it has hit the stands and the photo isn’t as scary as I feared. I have […]
It Continues
The writing that is. As does the influx of bills. The boys’ endless fighting. The wearying news of the country’s economic woes. So today, because I am only allowed a few minutes away from book to blog (I am on chapter 8 and heading towards 9 which is very good but also behind schedule. I […]
TBR
To Be Read that’s what TBR stands for and every die-hard reader has a TBR pile next to the bed or on a shelf or stacked in the corner of a room. I go through phases where I have stacks of books to be read and then other times when I’m reading so much, so […]
Busy Bee
I am writing at last. It only took me weeks and migraines and moments of intense fear and self-loathing to make myself sit down, unplug the #$%! modem and write. I now have a complete chapter one and chapter two is nearly finished and I have hope. There will be a book. And it will […]
Back at Sea-Tac
It’s Monday quarter to seven in the evening and I’m back at Seattle-Tacoma Airport, or for those of us who seem to live here, Sea-Tac. In just minutes I board my Alaska flight for San Francisco and this is just after a quickie trip to Leavenworth for a Sunday full of book events, first at […]
Launch Party Success
Despite all my nervous nilly ways, last week’s launch party was a huge success and in hindsight, I needn’t have been nervous. 120 people attended at the bookstore. 100 copies of Mrs. Perfect were sold–plus thirty more of Odd Mom and Flirting and Frog. Since September when Odd Mom Out debuted at the Bellevue Barnes […]
Muscle and the Muse
I need to start working out again. It’s not just my weight, it’s my confidence. I’m a nervous nilly when it comes to writing these days. I throw up roadblocks before I’ve even sat down at my keyboard. I don’t have time to write. I’m too busy to write. I’ve too many blogs/essays/interviews to do […]
