Last night at 5:30 pm Hawaii time I finally finished a book that was due March 31st. And it was a haaaaaaaaard write. It was a slooooooow write. I can write fast. But this book wouldn’t let me. This book was well, a bed of nails and every chapter was excruciating because I would write […]

Cry Me A River
I don’t advocate bawling all the time. It’s hard on the skin and unappealing at an eye ball level. But it did result in me getting some beautiful flowers from my bud Elizabeth Boyle (www.elizabethboyle.com) who should have actually gotten flowers from me for finaling in the Ritas again. Last time I roomed with her […]
No Foolin
I’m in my own special writing place, a place that is hellish and yet oddly comfortable as I seem to spend lots of time here, wondering what I’m writing, wondering where this is going, wondering how I can possibly pull yet another rabbit out of the hat. An even harder feat when you’ve got no […]
Internet Mama
I’ve lost it. I’ve gone over, into the far side, the world of internet addiction. In the course of four days I am now a member of MySpace and the newish site called CafeMom.com which is a place for moms to hang out and it’s cool, far more my speed than MySpace but minus the […]
Tuesday Update
Love that wonderful diary entry title. Fascinating subject header, isn’t it? Okay, creativity isn’t my high point right now. In fact, creativity seems to be a low point, along with my low energy. I thank my latest cold bug for that, as well as the very disorienting doses of Sudafed. What is in Sudafed, Actifed, […]
My New Internet Baby
It’s not officially live. I’m supposed to wait until Monday night or Tuesday to let everyone know but I can’t wait. I’m too excited. I have something new that’s arrived at my website and I love it and have to share. I have a brand spanking new bulletin board on my website and its there […]
Thoughts We Think
In the old days I never heard compliments, only criticisms. For most of my life I concentrated on that which I did wrong and that which I’d failed. If one reader didn’t like a book, I lingered over the nasty email or online review while skimming the glowing ones. Somehow the nasty, the mean, the […]
Auto Replay
Phone call from Hawaii, ‘What are you doing today, Jane?’ ‘Writing.’ Phone call a day later from friend. ‘Jane, what are you doing?’ ‘I’m writing.’ Phone call from Mom. ‘How are things?’ ‘Fine. Just writing.’ Phone call from mother of son’s friend to organize playdate. ‘You okay, Jane?’ ‘Oh yeah, I’m just at my desk. […]
Holiday Spirit
Don’t you just hate it when folks start out by making excuses and defending themselves? I know. I do. But here’s my disclaimer–I’m not depressed. I’m just snarky. I’m, oh, busy and feeling hectic but not in a bad way, so please gentle readers, do not despair nor worry for me. I am actually really […]
That Loving Feeling
I don’t got it. I’m talking about the JaneBlog. And maybe it’s not a permanent detachment, maybe we’ll grow closer again, maybe it’s just the holidays and stress, but I have to tell you, right now I don’t care if I ever see my blog again. First of all, why blog when I’ve got to […]
