A group for those of us who are writing lesson plans along with books, drowning in a sea of [ungraded papers], and teaching writing to students.
To me it feels sort of like a catch 22. To identify "mother writer" of "mommy blogging" is on one hand giving voice to a typically overlooked aspect of story in the literary mainstream, but then there is the fear of compartmentalizing art under thes…
Hi Kathleen,
I'm a three-year survivor!!!!
Women who have breast cancer, or have been touched by breast cancer, write their hearts out.
Hey Lynn,
I didn't see your response until today. Yes, we have been involved with LPA, but not as active as I'd like. We just have so much going on. I'm hoping to be more involved in the coming year. Kiki is older now and wanting to meet more LP ki…
Hey Tina,
Don't you just love Erma's essay on special mothers? I have a child with special needs, too. Welcome to the boards.
Charlie Parker Played Bebop was one of my favorites to read to the kids! Goodnight Moon is another. We loved Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs, Rain Makes Applesauce, David Wisner's picture book Tuesday is sooooo funny!! For Christmas, there's the P…
Great thread. Outside my regular column, my first essay is being published in the Cup of Comfort for a Better World anthology in March 2010, www.cupofcomfort.com. I've published poetry with Hip Mama and Mamazine.com. I know they accept essays as wel…
I loved this essay Sayantani!!! It's so true. That's my life. I'm working outside the home (two jobs). I have two children and my writing desk is in the corner of the front, very noisy room. It's really a writing corner. It's a high-traffic space of…

Tina McGrevy said… - Hello Christina!
Thanks for the welcome. I do love that Erma essay; although, I just recently "found" it. My mother had every one of Erma's books and most of our fridge was covered with her columns, but I am sure it did not click with me until my son was born.
I peeked in at your blog...love the M.O.M. Very clever! And true for all moms...

- A very wise someone once remarked to me, about the varying degrees of disability some children face, and how might all "rank" them. My answer to her then, and my feelings since and now, are this: It's a hard boat to row. Anyone who wantss to row, I say, Thank you. No other admissions required.
Not even typos!
Thank you.

Maybe your parents are just plain stupid. That's my first response. Just thank goodness there are other people in the world to appreciate you. And you yourself to appreciate you! And YES, writing is a saving grace, for sure and certain. It's saved m…
Yay, Nicole! I'm trying to remember if that was one of the ones I applied to or not. Did Wally Lamb go there? If it's the same place, someone I know also went there and she described it to me as having been "a pink cloud experience." I'm sure it wil…

I'm not sure where I stand on this issue. It's a toss up for me as well. I have been vacillating constantly as to whether I should go the self-publishing route or the traditional. I really look forward to seeing some discussion on this matter.
