"A folk singer? That sounds about right! Yes, I spell it with an i, but inadvertently, others spell it however they desire. My grandfather chose my name from the sitcom 'Family Affair'. I had the Ms. Beasley doll baby, sucked my thumb (and…"

"Hello Buffi!
I still have never met anyone names Buffi. This is my real name (Mom named me after a famous folk singer). Thanks for friending me. Do you spell yours with an i??
Buffi"

Jump off the Balcony
Got writers block? Jump.Agents rejecting you? Jump.Someone said your writing is rambling? Jump.My kids are always jumping off our second floor balcony. Don’t ring up Social Services… they land on the couch. Then they squeal in delight and run up the stairs to do it again.Today I decided to try it myself.

"Tania,
Thanks for the tips - it feels great to know someone understands what I've been going through. Your video has a great voice. I'm also inspired to write when I drive. I actually often keep my journal on my lap and write while driving…"

"Thanks for breaking down the mental algorithm that programs this. I can't wait for installment #2!"
Sharon Goodier commented on the blog post 'Don’t be the victim of your own glass ceiling.'
"#1: becoming a better poet
#2: women in the She Writes poets group
#3. I can't because i write too plainly; I read mostly non-fiction; I need to grow more language.
#4: That's my ceiling -- not reading enough poetry and developing…"

"@Lynne: The "Westerners studying Westerners and then generalizing to the entire planet" tendency is definitely one of the reasons I love modern anthropology (my chosen social science) so much ... It really breaks one of believing in vast…"
Lynne Morgan Spreen commented on the blog post 'Don’t be the victim of your own glass ceiling.'
"Crystal, I googled "are men more competitive than women?" (don't you love Google?) and this article cites a study of non-western societies that seems to conclude - and it's still under study - that the culture has more to do with…"

"@Lynne: You have a lot of valuable points, and I do and always will support research into inequalities, whether sex-based, gender-based, age-based, or something else.

"I understand that this discussion was about breaking through your own self-imposed limits, and that's a great message to remember. I'm a great believer in self-reliance, and a can-do attitude, but if you'll indulge me, I'd like…"
Crystal Calhoun commented on the blog post 'Don’t be the victim of your own glass ceiling.'
"Maybe it just proves I'm odd, but I thought the usage of glass ceiling in this post matched up all right with the more traditional usage — possibly because the title specifies "your own glass ceiling," so I knew to start with…"

Sorry Eleanor, but I disagree. I think it’s easy to love.
There was a time in my life when I loved him and he loved another. Lying alone on the cold tile of our bathroom floor I wished I didn’t love. I wondered what was wrong with me. I wished I was her and I prayed for courage.

An Interview with Myself - The She Writes Knowledge Faire 2010
Posted on May 28, 2010 at 12:36pm 6 Comments 0 Likes
I recently attended the first ever She Writes Knowledge Faire in NY on May 26. I’m a debut author searching for my perfect agent; one who will adore my book and stalk their connections at publishing houses until it gets printed.
I was so excited to be meeting the array of publishing professionals advertised, that I left my shoes and purse in the parking garage. Thankfully, I was able to retrieve both and head over to the… Continue

Elizabeth Towns said… - A folk singer? That sounds about right! Yes, I spell it with an i, but inadvertently, others spell it however they desire. My grandfather chose my name from the sitcom 'Family Affair'. I had the Ms. Beasley doll baby, sucked my thumb (and in times of sheer distress still do, but privately and sparingly), and had similar character traits to Buffi on the show. Nobody ever called me any other name until school started. Even then, in a time of neighborhood schools, Elizabeth only lasted for two weeks into any given school year!
