Tina -- I am a year late in getting to your comment and responding, re the FL Wright comment you left last year. I am so sorry! I am just catching up to SheWrites -- a bit behind here. Thanks for writing.
Wow, Jackie. I just found your blog. My oldest son's birthday happens to be today. It sounds like your Jordan touched many people in such a short amount of time. I admire you for celebrating his life!
Just last month, I posted a blog about the "R" word (for the benefit of yet another family member)...and then I hear it this morning on Regis and Kelly. I truely believe most people do not understand how offensive it is, but how many times…

Wow, Tina! Congratulations on having your story published! I had an anecdote published in my college alumni magazine this summer and was through the roof, I was so excited, so I can't imagine how it would be to have something in an actual book.…
Hi Kim!
I live in Springfield (about 40 miles west of Columbus) and I also have a Special Needs child. The dx was very tough..but now I've found an endless source of material. Our life is so far from "normal" it borders on hilarious.…
Hello Christina!
Thanks for the welcome. I do love that Erma essay; although, I just recently "found" it. My mother had every one of Erma's books and most of our fridge was covered with her columns, but I am sure it did not click…
Great article! I am not a fan of the "Donald" and I had not even heard about this episode until today. You can bet if it involved a race, religion, etc. there would be an outcry.
My son is mentally disabled so you can imagine my love of…
Hello Everyone. I'm new to She Writes and this group. I like to write about my family which includes my oldest son who was born with Smith-Magenis Syndrome. The short description of SMS is a combination of Down's Syndrome with Autistic…

Hi Lori. I'm not sure if you received an answer to this question, so I am going to stick my nose in someone else's conversation. Twice, for two different books, Chicken Soup e-mailed me a contract two weeks after their deadline. I signed…
I laughed out loud at your Thanksgiving story! Our holiday was wild if someone cooked marshmellows on top of the yams. My story, "Easter is Over!", is in the All in the Family book, too. I'm going to go check out the other two…
Hello Cindy!
I read your intro on the Midwest group. My hometown (Springfield, Ohio) has repaired a FLW house and I thought you might be interested. The whole project was filmed and shown on PBS, but of course, I cannot find that now. Here is the…
Books I've written, anthologies I've contributed to, and any scripts or plays I've authored:
My story, "Easter is Over!" is in the latest Chicken Soup for the Soul book titled All in the Family. It's my first published work, finally, so I am very excited!

Wow, Tina! Congratulations on having your story published! I had an anecdote published in my college alumni magazine this summer and was through the roof, I was so excited, so I can't imagine how it would be to have something in an actual book. :-) And the story sounds great.
I'm officially in Columbus, but my kids are in Hilliard schools, so we're practically neighbors! Thanks for the friend request, and for reading my little blog.

Welcome to She Writes! So glad you are here. I hope you will find, as I did, a great sense of community, loads of information and resources, and an incredible amount of talent.
Don't hesitate to let me know if you have any questions.
My father's death opened the closet of horrible memories and I began to write "ugly" as I called it then. I began to reach for some honesty in my writing as I went through three years of frequent flashbacks--not of HIM, but of another…
While I agree that we can get carried away and even use prompts and exercises as effective avoidance techniques to tell ourselves, well, we ARE writing something, I found two books and a couple of classes to be enormously helpful in getting me going…
