Happy New Year! A year ago today, I set out a list of 36 books to read in 2014. Of those titles, I managed to read just over a third with these thirteen: 179 Ways to Save a Novel: Matters of Vital Concern to Fiction Writers by Peter Selgin Someone Else’s Love Story by Joshilyn  […]

Good morning and happy December! This is the month for mistletoe, Christmas lights and latkes. It’s also time for  my traditional ‘Holy Crap Where Did the Year Go, I’ve Accomplished Nothing’ freakout. And eggnog lattes at Starbucks, which are not only delicious but prove that even Starbucks is human. Unless they aren’t. Because if they  […]

I love birthdays, and while I always thought 40 would have to claim me kicking and screaming, I’m surprisingly relaxed about turning 39 today. Life is pretty good at the end of this fourth decade, and I have more blessings than I can reasonably count. We have some fun stuff planned to celebrate – a  […]

Okay, okay, okay. Fine. Whatever you say, non-existent people who are not remotely pressuring me to do NaNoWriMo. You got me. I’ll do it! For those who don’t know, November is NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month), during which thousands of  would-be novelists lock themselves in closets, bathrooms and heated minivans, and try to churn out  […]

Dear Skywalker, Sometimes I feel like I’m not winning at this game. It’s been a bit chaotic at our house this week and everyone seems a little off their A-game. The good news is that we’re getting a puppy, so that will make everything calmer and easier! I was late to pick you up at  […]

So, you know that person who is always 2000% confident in themselves and their own knowledge? You know how, for some people, that confidence never seems to waver, regardless of the correctness or reliability of their beliefs?
