Writing exploits and motherly adventures of Valerie Brown, Author. May 28, 2014. A special thanks to Matthew Burgos for nominating me for the Liebster Award. I’m so honored to be chosen! Please check out his website Fiction in Flashes. So the first thing I’ll do is answer the questions posted by my nominator, Matthew. 1 If your house is on fire, what will you take and why? Assuming my family is safe, I’d grab my computer. It’s got all my writing and almost all of my photographs. Hmmmmmmm. Well, this ...

An Offer! | interrobangs
https://heatheralexanderblog.wordpress.com/2016/05/13/an-offer
This post has been updated to clarify some points that were obviously confusing. 5/20/16. Oh my god, you got an offer of representation! That’s HUGE. So exciting! The very next thing you need to do is freak out. I mean, go into full on panic mode. The clock is ticking! Email all the other agents who have your manuscript and tell them they have 24 hours to decide whether they want to make an offer too. Will she always be so insistent? 8221; ETA: You’re making a very big decision that will impact you...

Monthly Archives: December 2013. How to Live on Twenty-Four Hours a Day. December 27, 2013. I had three wrapped presents from my husband this year. This is fairly typical. However, one of them was labeled as “To: Rochelle From: The Winner of the 2013 Husband of the Year Competition.”. Also, I had an Amazon Kindle charger in my stocking. So that might have been a hint. I also couldn’t have been more wrong. I didn’t know it when I downloaded it, although by the end, I had my suspicions, but the book ...

Mystery flower. I’ve got a whole container of these, planted by an imaginary gardener. I hate those memes that go around, the articles about clever art installations mocking our dependence on the internet and smartphones. Do we miss the point, the moment, are we hiding behind our keyboards? Maybe, but much like the mysterious life in my planter, the flowers that have bloomed, flowers of laughter, love, tears, and mourning–are very real. Rest in peace, sweet girl. July 4, 2016. So I don’t know if th...

Deep Breath In…now hold it until you find sensible workout clothes! Early yesterday morning I was extolling the virtues of yoga for back care to a friend, and the conversation goosed me to do what I’ve been putting off for a year, buying new workout clothes. Should be easy, no? Everywhere you look are women wearing yoga pants and capris, with oh so cute little bondage straps–err, sports bras. Now I’m sure the idea is to hold in and hide all the rumply bits you’re trying to smooth away with ex...With the ...

Dear Chicks on the Right: You Talkin To Me? A few photos from 23rd Street, just a bit east of where the explosion took place Saturday night. This slideshow requires JavaScript. Sorry, it’s the one that fits. I know you disagree, and I’m sorry for being dense, perhaps you can explain it to me. Simply, seeing as I’m a slow-witted New Yorker who doesn’t understand what’s in my best interests. I was also taken aback by your expanding and clarifying statement,. But what really got my fingers itching to respon...

What Time Is It? Bottle without a message. And got on the train. At first it seemed like the iffy weather prediction was completely wrong. A bit of wind, but blue skies and sun all the way. A bit more wind. Eh, the sand scraping across my skin is free exfoliation. I can be freckled and have a youthful glow! So what do I do now with every opportunity on beautiful (or iffy) summer days? Badge of honor, I’ve never worn a housedress! A dollar short, story of my life. Posted in City Life. June 30, 2016. Labor...

Monthly Archives: March 2014. An Update on My WIPs. March 27, 2014. As of today, I’m officially into my third trimester of pregnancy. If I were to go into labor today, my daughter’s chances of surviving to her first birthday are 96 percent. This is good news and takes away much of my nervousness. We could have the baby today and, with the exception of our completely unprepared nursery, everything would be fine, right? Well, sort of. I could probably send out my story as I printed it a few weeks ago. ...
