An Unconventional Love Letter to My Husband

Posted on February 13, 2013 at 8:42am 0 Comments

I always thought I’d get married in my forties. Or something like that.  

 
Ok. Since we’re being honest here, I don't think I ever really thought I’d get married.

Well, kittens, it's Halloween. It's the one day out of the year that I am grateful to live in an apartment building that is inhabited entirely by graduate students of the ..."studious" variety. This means a couple of things: 
1. No Halloween parties with girls dressed like slutty Barbie and slutty Little Bo Peep and slutty Cinderella and slutty Rainbow Bright (Although, who are we kidding. That girl got…

I just opened the door to the novelist group for you - welcome! You might introduce yourself by telling us what you’re working on in the “Show Me Your Novel and I’ll Show You Mine” discussion if you're not too uncomfortable talking about what you're working on. I’ll look forward to chatting with you!

Hey Kate, Welcome to the Southern Writers Group. We're very pleased to have you join us. Zetta Brown and I are the admins so you're liable to hear from either one or both of us. Be sure and go over and introduce yourself. Roll Call is a good place to start and there are lots of other discussions to jump into as well as just saying hi on our main page. Let us know how we can support you. Nicky
