Necco Wafers and Thanksgiving

Those things may seem an odd couple to you, but they've both been on my mind lately. I've been enjoying Necco Wafers as a little snack while I'm writing. Have you eaten Necco Wafers? They're refreshingly smooth and sweet. A mini roll comes with 9 wafers in a variety of flavors: chocolate, lemon, lime, orange, clove, wintergreen, cinnamon, and licorice. Chocolate was my favorite, and Necco has an all chocolate roll with chocolate flavors of milk, dark, white, and mocha. I'll have to try the all-c… Continue

Entrances

The hardest part of a story to write is the first line. Speaking from my experience as a reader (e.g. what pulls me into a story) and a writer (what has sold my work), a character has to make an entrance. Or, if told in the first person, a statement. I don't mean just having someone walk through a door, or wake up in bed and most definitely not stare at herself in the mirror over the bathroom sink. Characters arrive. They have a presence that makes you turn to the next page and the next until th… Continue

Authentic Thanksgiving Writing

Thanksgiving is the perfect time for authentic writing for our children. Authentic writing activities help with writing achievement. When children are involved with authentic writing for real life purposes they are writing for people outside of school. Thanksgiving gives your child the authentic writing opportunity to write recipes, shopping lists, greeting cards, writing stories and poems. Have your child be your family’s official Thanksgiving writer. Give your child a new journal and colored… Continue

I am a procrastinator

Book progress or lack thereof… Deadlines, what can be said about deadlines?? Right now I would like to say I hate them. A procrastinator by nature, making the final revisions to my book are not something I can put off because if I do not have them to my editor in time then they can’t do their work and everything gets thrown off. Don’t you hate that? I mean really, sometimes I just look at the screen of my laptop and want to stare off into space. It’s much more fun. I don’t feel like using neith… Continue

I am Fabulous

Today is Tuesday September 8th, 2009. The day after Labor Day which for me is the start of my fall New Year. It means a few more months left in the year in which I can refocus my energies and get down to business. Recommitting to reaching those goals I felt were all so important on January 1st. This year my refocus could almost be overwhelming as it has probably been the most interesting year of my life thus far. I haven’t made as much progress as I would have liked and in some instances have al… Continue

A Mom with PPD Debates Having Another Child

By Karen Bannister From The Momoir Project Blog www.themomoirproject.com I am a young girl, playing on the sidewalk that forms a white border around the yellow stone house of my childhood. And in the summer breeze, alone except for the whistle of the wind in the trees and the distant cries of other children playing in the hot, bright sun, I step into the grooves and cracks in the pavement, slipping my jelly shoe feet into the parts in between. I try, concentrating all my mental energy and the… Continue

Writing as Exercise (Plunge Like There's No Tomorrow)

It's Day 2 of my new, nearly-daily posting habit. Or maybe it's Day 1, since I skipped a day and just basked in the glow of having written one post. Don't you need to do something 30 days in a row to form a new habit? Oh honey, you got a ways to go. At any rate, allow me to describe my morning. It might make you feel better about yours. Just be aware that this will involve a lengthy toilet scene.… Continue
