Corbin, I just finished reading Creating a Life. Wow, I only bought it yesterday! Couldn’t put it down, obviously. Because I am not a mother I have to research a lot in order to write fiction with characters who are mothers, and I’ve actually read a lot of books about childbirth. I learned even more from your book. —Loretta
Hi Corbin, From 2004-2006 I was the arts writer for the International Examiner I took leave of absence to finish a book length manuscript but still write occasionally for that weekly, perhaps that's it. You didn't post a link about your class on Saturday. Did you post it with the Seattle Writers group here at SW?
Hi Corbin, There's so much to discover on this platform, that a lot of things that were happening in my own physical area escaped my attention. For one. the meeting at Hugo House on May 5th. Had I been there, had I connected with you and the other Seattle women writers among whom Elizabeth Austen, that evening, we might have been able to share the SW birthday cake at the book launch last week.
Welcome to Mother Writer! Thanks for introducing yourself. If you need anything don't hesitate to drop a line. Also, you may want to add your blog to the discussion "Name your mama blog here" if you haven't already. Looking forward to hearing more from you.
