She Writes Day of Action
I bought Hope Edelman's "the possibility of everything" after following Hope's wonderful Countdown to Publication. I also bought Malalai Joya's "A Woman Among Warlords". I bought a couple of soft-cover books as well, one published in 2009 and the other possibly in 2008 but still ... I bought "Timeof My Life" by Allison Winn Scotch, and "Girl Trouble" by Holly Goddard Jones. Now, added to the already looming stack of to-be read books, I'm set for quite some time, but it will be a blast.
Take that PW! What do they know about best of 2009!

Monkey Chatter
Posted on January 14, 2011 at 5:22am 0 Comments 0 Likes
That is what dad is calling the thoughts he has in his racing mind as he lays in the hospital bed drifting in and out of sleep.
Memories of jobs from 40 years ago during his career as an electrical engineer. Talk of Cal Tech and Richard Fineman, his favorite physicist. Recalling his parents who raised him and his sister during the depression.
But the fear is in that monkey chatter as well.
For a man almost 84 who has always been independent and able to care for… Continue

What I'm Not Writing and What You Should Be Reading
Posted on November 25, 2010 at 11:18pm 2 Comments 0 Likes
I haven’t been here in a while. You know, doing that NaNoWriMo thing. So where am I? I am hopelessly behind.
I have accepted the fact that I will not win (unless I suddenly get really productive in the next five days and write about six thousand words a day), but I am willing myself not to give up. I do not want to be a quitter.
Can you tell, I am in my I hate NaNoWriMo phase, the one where I repeatedly ask myself, what the hell was I thinking?
But, I still love my… Continue

I LOVE, no I HATE, no I LOVE, no I ..... NaNoWriMo

Here we are, in the midst of week 2 of NaNoWriMo. Unbeknownst to me until this week, week 2 is the cursed week (Week 2 is also apparently cursed for contestants on The Biggest Loser - who knew?). I refuse to do much research on it – no reason to tempt the fates – but as I understand it, if there is a week when most people drop out of NaNoWriMo it is week two. Maybe it is because in… Continue

Caroline Huerta said… - Hi Julie, Thanks for the very warm welcome. I am looking forward to being an active member of this community. It's exciting to be among so much talent. I haven't started a blog yet but my focus will be on the challenge of transitioning from being in a marriage for most of my adult life to being single at 40 something and learning the new set of rules to play by in this very competitive single adult world :) fun stuff. I am also in the process of rambling about my life in the hopes of creating and honoring the story of my unusual life experiences. Look forward to reading your work.
Warm Regards
Caroline
