All These Ideas: July 2012
http://alltheseideas.blogspot.com/2012_07_01_archive.html
Saturday, July 21, 2012. I've been inspired, now that I am expecting another baby, to revisit the birth of my first. Most of this was coming from memory, but I did make a lot of notes in the first few weeks of being a mom. My tone in those notes was, um, a little more freaked out. I was probably not sleeping. Because my risk of infection was greater since my water had been broken, no one checked how dilated I was until about 11pm. Around 9 or 10 at night, things started to get very difficult for me&#...

Can I Get a Side of Reality With That?: How do you capture ideas?
http://jem5.blogspot.com/2012/05/how-do-you-capture-ideas.html
Can I Get a Side of Reality With That? A blog rife with word nerdery. Monday, May 21, 2012. How do you capture ideas? I think any creative type knows the drill: you're walking out to your car and inspiration hits. Or you're just about to hop in the shower when that scene you've been agonizing over finally crystallizes. Or worse yet, you're deep in revisions (dreaded, dreaded revisions) and a shiny new idea smacks you upside the head. What do you do? So how do you capture ideas? May 21, 2012 at 10:14 AM.

Can I Get a Side of Reality With That? A blog rife with word nerdery. Thursday, July 26, 2012. What does it mean to be a geek girl? I'm going a little off topic today (which would imply I'm ever ON topic, which I'm not). I read an interesting article on CNN (see the article here. No And I'm not a fan of anyone leveraging a pretend interest in something just to get their foot in the door. But what really struck me about the article were the comments. The internet a little more, but it's horribly indicativ...

Can I Get a Side of Reality With That?: Cliffhangers: leave them wanting...

Can I Get a Side of Reality With That? A blog rife with word nerdery. Monday, February 11, 2013. Cliffhangers: leave them wanting. DID YOU SEE THAT COMING? Cliffhangers are sooo good. When they're done right, but I've found there are just as many ways to go wrong with them. Cheesy intros, false cliffhangers, killing tension - you worked too hard to shoot your cliffhanger in the foot. So my humble thoughts on how to do cliffhangers right (by telling you what you're doing wrong, YOU'RE WELCOME):. If you wa...

Can I Get a Side of Reality With That?: June 2012
http://jem5.blogspot.com/2012_06_01_archive.html
Can I Get a Side of Reality With That? A blog rife with word nerdery. Monday, June 25, 2012. And this is why I don't tell family I write. Oh, that's a nice hobby, I like to knit. What are you writing about? Can I read it? Hurry up and get published already! What does your husband think about this? Honestly got that question). I've got an idea for a children's book about a penguin that flies in space. What one question/comment do you get the most? Which do you hope you never hear again? The time has come.

Can I Get a Side of Reality With That?: September, what are YOU doing here?!?
http://jem5.blogspot.com/2012/08/september-what-are-you-doing-here.html
Can I Get a Side of Reality With That? A blog rife with word nerdery. Thursday, August 30, 2012. September, what are YOU doing here? Just a brief check-in with all my bloggy friends to say hallow, and confirm (yet again) that I've not bitten the big one (yet) (again). So eventually I had to pump the brakes on myself and take a step back to hand it over to betas. Is it perfect yet? For sure not. But do I know where it's not perfect anymore? I'm big on the similes and metaphors today, apparently. Yesterday...

Saturday, May 18, 2013. Changing, Ever-Changing Thoughts on Breastfeeding. Before I had kids and while I was pregnant and even while my son was a small baby, I really thought breastfeeding was the ultimate choice, the best choice in feeding your kid. And more than just that, I really thought. Breastmilk just isn't there, or when we find that we have weaned before we meant to and now there's no going back, or we reach that point where we just can't do it anymore because we are exhausted or ill or worn dow...

All These Ideas: November 2012
http://alltheseideas.blogspot.com/2012_11_01_archive.html
Tuesday, November 20, 2012. It has been a while since a post has appeared. But I have an excuse. A new person appeared in my life. Here is his birth story. More posts, hopefully about things other than how people make their way into this world, to come soon. Evening. We called my in-laws when I started having contractions at dinnertime. But . the contractions went away at bedtime and I didn't go into labor at all. Boo. Starting to cry. I thought they would just pull the rest of him out, but Ros kept ...

Saturday, May 19, 2012. Free DIY Toddler Toys. I'm cheap, especially on the subject of toys. Sometimes, it's just really hard to know if your kid is going to love that thing they want at the store. I'm sure we have all been burned on this before. My son is almost 2, so these are toys for toddlers. 1 Cars through a tube. Putting cars through a tube is about 800% more fun than playing with cars when you do not have a tube. It's a tunnel, a slide, or a thing to look through depending on the mood. Al...My so...
