GOODNIGHT, SWEET CHELSEA GIRL

Posted on July 2, 2010 at 4:30am 0 Comments

**This post was originally a post on my blog site, but then I re-wrote it to really focus on grief and the loss of a pet. It was submitted to Chicken Soup last month - still keeping my fingers crossed.



I’d like to do Saturday over. I’d like to not fret about a forty dollar remnant rug ruined by a frantic dog that lost control of her bowels in the middle of the night. I wish I hadn’t ranted for two-hours while mopping dried dog poop off hard-wood floors. Instead, I’d like to… Continue

Emily - Your issue is one we all face, I think. One thing I've been doing to cut down on email is to get off of email lists and "friend" or "like" them on Facebook. I find I'm spending less time on email, cutting through the junk much more quickly and actually paying attention to them more on FB. Maybe it's just the visual quality, but it's helping. I suspect, though, that once I get my blog up, this will all change!

>I think I know what my next summer read is going to be!

Thank you, Emily!

>You have now been added to my blog roll under "Writers ' Resources".

Thank you even more!!

>My goal this summer is to finally get started on a project bigger than 2000 words! Where to begin - yikes.

For me, that's the hardest part. Sometimes I just write the word "The" and hope more words will join it. And I always start in my journal, because then I'm not really starting anything...

I'm a UM alum, btw. Undergrad and the law school; my new novel (coming next March) is about 4 women grads of UMLaw, and takes place in part in Ann Arbor - where my youngest starts in the fall! And I'll be doing a reading at the graduate library (or maybe in the new art building) there when the book comes out.

Look forward to connecting with you here. If you have any thought of writing longer fiction, do join us in the novelist group. No experience required.

Adding my voice to the welcome, Emily. Love the name of your blog so much that I took a peek. I particularly loved "Worried I'll have Nothing to Say." You hit on something we all feel. (Or at least I do, even still, every time I start something new.)

Look forward to connecting with you here.

Hello Emily, we all love those PJ days and today is one of them for me. Although not sleepy in the least, I like the way you've covered the topic and Yes to "one leg at a time" :-)
