Lanita Andrews commented on the blog post 'The Challenge of Writing Historical Fiction'
Historical fiction is quickly becoming an addiction for me, and I have to say I have the greatest respect for the authors who do it well and accurately. It's a monster of a job, one I don't think I'd ever feel brave enough to take on.
Lanita Andrews replied to the discussion 'SheWriMo: She Writes November Writing Challenge, NOVEMBER 1ST'
At the end of the first day, with a little over 2 hours to spare, and my word count is 2483.

The 150 best Slow Cooker Recipes
Most, and I own many, are total crap, but this one is fantastic. I have the first edition, but I can't imagine the second not being as good if not better. The recipes are amazing and can be easily…

I figure I need a minimum of 2000 words a day, leaving me 5 days (4 Sundays and Thanksgiving) free. So that is my minimum requirement, but I'm hoping to produce more the first two weeks, to free up time in the second half of the month. So far,…

Hi Valarie, thanks for friending, and it's good to see you back in the group. I actually wanted to send you a message a couple of times, but as is always the case, I got side tracked. It's been a really slow week this week, but…

Why I write, the condensed version:
With macro-lens precision, it captures The heart’s beat-pump-flow
Of blood to a living body,
But also, the heart’s fall…

Mending
Within a living soul.

Hi Fiona,
I can't get into your group. It's asking me to subscribe/pay again, even though the subscription is for 1 month. Are you able to re-grant me access?

Adoption as a Second Language: A She Writes Roundtable with Lanita Andrews, Ilie Ruby, Kate St. Vincent Vogl, and Jodi McIsaac Martens
Posted on November 18, 2010 at 7:30am 8 Comments 0 Likes
To honor National Adoption Month here at She Writes, Lanita Andrews tapped three She Writers—a Birth Mother, an Adoptee, and an Adoptive Mother—to tackle the thorny subject of adoption and words.
As writers, we have an intimate relationship with words; we feel their weight and recognize their significance on a daily basis. For those of us touched by adoption, this relationship becomes… Continue

Following Jodi McIsaac Marten's lead, I am sharing a little about being an Adoptive-Mother. Here is a story about the first time I used the term First-Mother with my daughter -

Meg Waite Clayton said… - Lanita, Glad to have you in the novelist group! 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. And we do a live chat every Wednesday at 1EST; instructions on how to participate are in the "Our Water Cooler Wednesdays" box near the top of the group page. Hope you can join us for that.

Kelly Allardyce said… Hi Lanita,
Thank you for your response. I obviously wrote this post in a very dark moment and I am thinking about deleting it from my blog. It doesn't feel right to have it out there. Right now my son is "doing well". He has a place to stay and he is looking for a job. All I can do is hope.
Sorry to hear that you have dealt with this situation with your parents. It is an extremely helpless feeling to watch loved ones hurting themselves.
Merry Christmas to you and yours.
BTW - I loved your "Uterus" post. It made me laugh and that is a very good thing!

Susan Bearman said… Hi, Lanita. First, thanks for subscribing to my blog (Two Kinds of People). I don't know if this answers your questions, but I did not see you listed as a follower, so it would appear that subscribing to a blog in a reader does not have you show up as Google Friend "Follower". However, it does show up in my Feed Subscribers account through Google's Feedburner. When you sign up as a follower directly on my blog, your avatar shows up under my list of followers. For example, I have 34 people identified as followers on my blog (I just added this feature recently), but 128 people have subscribe to my feedburner feed. I hope this helps answer your question. Again, thanks for reading.
