On Being an Inconsistent Writer
http://www.heathernewton.net/uncategorized/on-giving-oneself-permission-to-be-an-inconsistent-writer
On Being an Inconsistent Writer. October 17, 2012. My wonderful long-time writers’ group, the Flatiron Writers, will come to my house to critique the new novel I handed out to them to read a month ago. I’ll provide food and drink and then sit like the proverbial fly on the wall while they discuss my novel the way a book club would. Under The Mercy Trees. Under the Mercy Trees was well-received as a literary novel and in spite of myself I have felt some pressure to produce something new that is just as go...

http://www.heathernewton.net/uncategorized/luddite-author-enters-21st-century-creating-an-ebook
Luddite Author Enters 21st Century: Creating an eBook. September 11, 2012. I am the second most technologically-impaired person I know. (First prize goes to my mother). I am so inept that after ten years of living in my house I still haven’t memorized which switches turn on which lights, and my husband had to prepare a notebook for me with instructions for operating the stereo and DVD player. He labeled it How My House Works. Yes, but at least I didn’t have to hire my teenager to help me create it! 2010 ...

Mama’s Fat Pants: The Gift of Written Expression
http://www.heathernewton.net/uncategorized/mamas-fat-pants-the-gift-of-written-expression
Mama’s Fat Pants: The Gift of Written Expression. October 9, 2012. By the end of my senior year I had decided I would keep writing, and I haven’t stopped since. Here, with the permission of the author, is her poem:. Mama’s Fat Pants, by Madeleine Cox. Mama has some pants. They aren’t like her other pants. She wears them when she knows we are the only ones looking at her. Mama has her fat pants. Her gray gateways to freedom. She can fly like a bird. Or swim like a fish. Or dance to the stuff on the radio.
