I haven’t written the synopsis for Bitter Moon yet. I should have–but bedtime has been a terrible war this week, and sleep is the casualty, and by ten or eleven o’clock at night, my eyes are burning and my brain is deep-fried with clams.

Have you ever wondered where the horrible neglectful mother of that naked child peddling his tricycle around the block three times could possibly be? I don’t know where the other bad mothers are, but I was going to the bathroom and then washing dishes on the serene assumption that the psychotic little nudist was LOCKED… Read More

I’ve been a bad blogger–and I’m so very sorry. The problem is, I’ve been blogging from school, and I wanted to give pictures, but I couldn’t because, well, I was blogging from school!

The forces that drove me to knit in the car in front of the pet store today were many. I managed to write three of the four synopsis, but it took a lot of yelling, pouting, screaming and weeping on my part. The children were getting used to ducking and the spouse…well, let’s just say… Read More

I knew today was going to suck. My weekend was…exasperating. I never got that work done. I flat out didn’t. So here it is, in my e-mail box, perhaps the opportunity that I’ve been waiting on for the last four years and… And I can’t answer the door because I’m getting a bottle for a… Read More

Okay, first of all, I should be writing a cover letter…I have a (sort of? maybe?) agent who has a (kind of? maybe?) line on a publisher who (may? perhaps?) would like to publish my already self-published books.
