Remembering
Remembering everything about that day nine years ago, but especially remembering my friend Craig who died that day.
Fall
When I was in Mexico I complained A LOT about how hot it was. The heat, the humidity, the no air conditioning, the sun, the heat, the humidity, the bugs (wait, that’s a different problem), and the never-ending heat. Oh, and also the heat. So it’s with no small amount of pleasure that I welcome …
Stories are Everywhere
As I left the plane behind me last night, I paused near the waiting area as an anxious family rushed forward. A caucasian couple a few years older than me, trailed by two teenagers and two little girls around six or seven years old, moved as one unit, then stopped a few feet away. What …
Can It Be?
I actually have an entire weekend — nay, a LONG weekend — and NO editing? I’m shocked, I tell you, shocked! I realize it’s only been a month or so since I got back into the writing/editing swing of things, but since I was determined to meet my goal I was really pushing hard on …
The Inculpable Cardboard Box

Awesome awesome awesome. Just got a new car? Awesome. Your baby slept through the night? Awesome. Finished your novel? Sooo …
I’ve Gone Crazy. Again.
Seems I didn’t have enough to do last weekend, what with finishing my edits and all. I decided to do a few things for Owen as well. He’s now the proud owner of a Facebook Fan Page called Super Owen. In keeping with that theme, I’ve also revamped his blog. Yeah, I know I changed …
That’s a Lot of Paper!
Look! I finished my edits and printed out After the Fall in its entirety! Yes, there are TWO red pens waiting for me. Because I’m ahead of schedule I have a whopping NINE days to proof the hard copy and still meet my goal of finishing by September 1st.
I’m Sensing a Theme Here
It’s been one of those weeks. And one more that won’t let me embed: Daft Punk’s Da Funk How was your week? Anything exciting planned this weekend?
