Diana Raab said… - Wowa girl, you are busy! I have been writing in my journal and writing memoir for 30+ years and am getting tired of writing about myself, so started writing poetry, but it ended up also being memoir. I've just edited a book coming out this month, WRITERS AND THEIR NOTEBOOKS. Was a fun project, but am really needing a literary change. I'm trying to decide between humor writing or studying Buddhism, since I realized that Clooney is beyond my reach, even though I know someone who knows him!

- Would you be willing to be interviewed on my blog, Lessons from the Monk I Married?? I'd love to somehow chat more. Are you in the Seattle area? I'm new to this She Writes and still looking for writers with common interests.

- Your book was published through Seals Press. I'm working with a former Editor of Seals Press now...would love to chat. My book and blog are called Lessons from the Monk I Married, about my 13-year journey with my husband, a former Korean Buddhist monk. I've added you as a friend.

Lydia R. LeRoy-Williams said…
- I've decided to do NaNoWriMo in November...I've never done it before. Upon asking many questions as to whether or not I should finish my novel during this month or start a new project, I got mixed ideas.
Some have said to start something new because its easier to write on something new with out that editor within. But, others have said to start at a point in the novel where I felt good about where it was going and go from there...stifling the editor within (so hard to do). I only sent you a portion of what I have written...would you like the rest?
I'm lost still. I badly want to finish it but I also want to keep producing rather than being froze. Does this make sense?

- Hello....how are you doing? I'm online and have tried to chat via the She Writes Chat ...not sure if it's working :-) Thought I would say hello.

I might add here, there provide a lot of material... also you don't have to be a twin mom to understand how hard it is to juggle 75 plates at the same time! Twins=something like 4 kids all at one. Somehow raising my son, now in college, was a breeze…
Being a professional in film world,a published writer, now a comedic performer, am mothering twin 7 yr old girls who somehow already where my clothes; I started a twin support group because so many new moms were ready to hang themselvse.
Whew ... Okay, I think we've got and understanding now, that it was mostly a misunderstanding. Did I take it personally and get my feelings hurt? You bet I did, because that is what I do. It gives that inner critic, who is already annoyingly obnoxio…

I want to encourage women to submit to humor venues. I urge you; I implore you. Let’s start a revolution and change the world’s mind about who’s funny. Your heart will swell with accomplishment and your breasts will become larger. This, I promise.
