MUSINGS OF A PSEUDO-WRITER. Thursday, December 20, 2007. Birth of a Writer. Checking out the scene through the glass door, I saw about a dozen people perched atop chairs and counter stools – a businessman reading the paper, a young mod couple conversing over pots of coffee, a pensive college girl in the back corner with a laptop and an ashtray brimming with spent cigarettes. I wanted to be among those characters, but needed a spot where I wouldn’t be scrutinized. 8220;What’ll ya have, sweetie? 8221; he c...

MUSINGS OF A PSEUDO-WRITER. Sunday, September 30, 2007. The First Lesson of Motherhood. In reality, it was the end of July without a holiday in sight. Jamie was away at work, and I found myself immediately phoning a person with pregnancy experience – my sister-in-law, Sandy, mother of two. So much for my movie-script fantasy; I needed confirmation from a reliable source. 8220;Well, if there are definitely two lines, you’re definitely pregnant! 8221; My daughter’s first steps, first time saying &#82...

Literal Chaos: March 2008

http://literalchaos.blogspot.com/2008_03_01_archive.html

MUSINGS OF A PSEUDO-WRITER. Thursday, March 20, 2008. Run, Presses, Run! My smallish ego is smiling right now (I know, I know - it's just one tiny win). I received a call late yesterday that my essay will be running on the presses tonight for Friday's paper. Ahhhhhhh. I didn't get a proof, so I'm anxious to see if there are any errors (I sent it in with none, but it was reset for the press). Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. And being that I'm type A, this is the annoying, oh-the-hell-with-it-all question. We hope you a...

Tuesday, June 1, 2010. Attitudes and Literary Fiction.
