I am currently reading Jamie Cat Callan’s “Bonjour Happiness”. I have found this to be just the most delightful book I’ve read in a long time.

Jamie Cat Callan, a great author and a super fun teacher, is introducing an author friend of hers this Tuesday for a signing at a local bookstore. Her friend, Teresa Link, wrote a book called “Denting the Bosch”. I liked the title so much I decided to read the book before going to the signing . . . → Read More: Denting the Bosch & Hope Springs When I write an email, I have to send it. When I write a letter (or, I should say, back in the day when people actually wrote letters), I had to mail it. When I write a blog, I have to publish it. People would ask me why I have to send or publish it. . . . → Read More: The Answer Last night’s keynote speaker at “summer camp” was New York Times best selling author Joseph Finder (High Crimes, The Moscow Club, and most recent, Buried Secrets). He was funny and entertaining. He’s had a stunning career. He told us a lot about how he knew he was a writer and the research and writing process . . . → Read More: Evolving As You Persevere I have read 4 books in the last 7 days and I feel like I’ve been living in many different worlds.

The reason I didn’t want to write anything is because I spent most of the day reading something. Yoga was yoga. Again it was hot and humid, but for the second day in a row. I reigned in my mind, set my intention, and came through despite the . . . → Read More: Between The Lines I’m reading “The Next Best Thing”, Jennifer Weiner’s newest book. While it’s a slow mover, it is a good story and keeps my interest because the main character is a writer – for TV. It was all very interesting to see how shows are written and then finally make it onto our TV screen, but . . . → Read More: The Next Best Thing ..and I’m perfectly normal. That, perhaps, is the nicest feeling in the world. Just knowing that whatever you are going through, it’s not unique to you, and there are characteristics of it that are experienced by others going through the same thing. Misery does love company – it’s what makes miserable, tolerable. I had . . . → Read More: I’m Not Alone… There’s no doubt about it – the Cape is poised and ready for the holiday. The houses are decorated, the cottages are full, the grills are ramping up, filling my neighborhood with wonderful smells, the local tv is advertising the Boston pops fireworks and lobster ice cream here on the Cape. I spent my last . . . → Read More: The Last Silent Night |
