Learning from the Little One
It all started off as just another eventful day in our lives. Ady made breakfast, I called some customer service guy and spent a good half hour spelling and re-spelling my email id, repeating my questions at different paces, and then resigning to chat with the agent than exhausting the last calorie of energy in my body. Ady dropped Driti at a birthday party and came back home, because, well, she may have as well asked him to. And then, when she finally did decide to come back home, she plonked…See More

The Independent Child
I’ve lost count of the number of people who've told us that we are very lucky parents - we have an independent child, who does not need us constantly.

"That means they never cried?" she asked me.
"Well that means, they took care of each other and were always there to support each other"
She did not understand what I said,and writing this down, I see how confusing my answer was too. But there were a lot of follow up questions and one thing led to another and she asked me what 'Soul mate' was. I kissed her good night, promising to answer…

We do a live chat at 1 EST on the first Wednesdays of each month, with instructions on how to participate in the "Our Water Cooler" box near the top of the group page. And we save the wall for discussion, but welcome links to helpful blog posts on the “Links to Helpful Blog Posts for Writers” discussion thread and to published books in the “Our Published Novels” one.
I hope you’ll enjoy the group.

Peg Herring posted a blog postThe Mystery Writer as an Agent of Karma
