"What I don't get a day?" Martha Washington

What, I don’t get a day? Fair Martha Dandridge was born on June 2, 1731 in Virginia at the family digs, The White House Plantation. (WASPs just love naming their houses.) There was apparently an endless supply of siblings in her home of origin. She was first in birth order followed by 3 brothers, 4 sisters and an illegitimate sister named Ann. Needless to say after 15+  years of babysitting siblings she decided to get married. At 18, Martha wasn’t looking for romance, she was looking for a…See More

Profile Information

Who I am:

FaceBook: Sally Franz and Sally Franz Uncorked
Twitter: Sallyfranz
Books I've written, anthologies I've contributed to, and any scripts or plays I've authored:
Scrambled Leggs...A Snarky Tale of Hospital Hooey

The Baby Boomers Guide to Menopause...or how to have more fun than 36 hours of labor

My writing is:
Nonfiction, Blog Posts
Services I offer to other writers:
I offer what I call Deep Editing services. This is when I go over a manuscript and offer suggestions for areas that are not as strong as they should be. So instead of just saying, "This area is weak" or "You need more depth for this character" I also add exactly what that would look like to me 'the reader'. This is a combination editing and ghost writing. My goal is to get the manuscript up to publishing standards.
I'm part of these writers' groups or salons:
I have an online group of colleagues who work in that capacity.
My professional associations:
I shun away from professional groups as a whole. I have too much to do and very little time.

GroundHog Stew

Posted on February 2, 2011 at 1:01pm 0 Comments

Confession: I once ate Groundhog Stew. It was a sin of omission, not commission. I was living at The Copasetic Commune (circa early 70s) and the farm dog scared a groundhog to death. I saw it with my own eyes. Bowser cornered the thing in the garden and it dropped over with a coronary. The cook ran out the door, grabbed up the groundhog and slammed it into a sealed plastic bag and popped it into the freezer. (Lord now in retrospect I hope that thing wasn't playing possum? Dang this…

Tigers eat their young!

Posted on February 1, 2011 at 2:26pm 1 Comment

Well, maybe they don't in nature, but maybe they do. As a youth director at a church I had to counsel several young women traumatized by the suicide of their young Asian girlfriend, who though she was on two varisty sports and elected on to the homecoming court, A- grades were not enough in her house. Up until her last year an older sister, who was an A+ student, kept the Tiger mom's fury off of the younger sister. But with big sister off to the "right" college, the gloves came off. Even though… Continue

Your post about suicide and Tiger mothers is a certainly a sad reflection on the pressure to succeed at any cost.
