Free to Be...and Free to Write...in Chicago!

Posted on November 19, 2012 at 8:30am 3 Comments

This summer I moved from Brooklyn to Chicago with my husband and toddler twins.  I thought the change in locale might help slow me down.  The opposite happened instead.  The pace of a writing life has little to do, sometimes, with the city outside one’s head.

She Writes asked me to share…

HAPPENING TONIGHT! Navigating the Pink Ghetto, Spilling Red Ink

Posted on June 11, 2012 at 12:00pm 0 Comments

 

In this town of writerly goodness, every once in a while an event rolls around that I feel I just can't miss.  Still trying to line up a sitter, but damned if I won't be there.  If anywhere near NYC tonight, I strongly encourage you to hightail it to this panel too -- which features members of my awesome authors' group, and the founder of…

A Day in the Life of an OpEd (or, How This Busy Mama Writer Woman Somehow Managed to Get It All In!)

Posted on July 8, 2011 at 1:30pm 9 Comments

Say yes I wasn’t planning on spending a day and a half turning around an op-ed. But when editors from certain venues call, I jump. Some opportunities are just too good to turn down.



Colleagues—especially, often, academics, and especially, often, fellow writing mamas—sometimes ask me how it’s possible to turn something around with the speed that today’s media requires when you've got so much ELSE, er, going on. So I thought I’d break it down, blow by blow, in an effort to…

STILL MORE Ways to Rejuvenate Your Writing Life - Our Mother's Day Gift to All Who Mother WORDS!

Posted on May 6, 2011 at 1:00pm 3 Comments

We think that Mother's Day should last all month long.  And that women who aren't mothers need a special day too.  And that women who are writers (some of whom are mothers) should be giving themselves gifts here and there to rejuvenate themselves…

Hi Deborah, Happy New Year.  I hope you have a wonderful prosperous year.  I desire to learn from you and others on this site.  I just signed up.  I am currently writing a book about my thyroid disease.

I really enjoyed your book, Sisterhood, Interrupted!  I sent you an email about it the other day, so I hope you received it.

Hi Deborah! Thanks for the welcome. Your thoughtful post about writing about our kids was actually what brought me here to She Writes (A friend passed the link along to me.) Congrats on your twins, and I hope you're enjoying the adventure. The one-to-three-years-old period is, well, challenging, but also delightful in countless ways. Like most things about parenting, I suppose! Cheers, JR.
