Hi, and things have been hard. I’m waiting for my universe to right itself again. Or rather, I’m working to right it again, but meanwhile, I’m popping in with a PROMPTuesday. Because gah, I’m sick of thinking about myself. This week’s writer’s helper comes from Toasted Cheese, a website for writers founded and…Continue Reading

Circles
“How does it feel?” I wish he’d ask. Because it feels like staring out a smudged window and no matter how much you lick your finger and wipe, you can’t see out. It’s like sitting in a corner and not because you have to. It’s the heat behind your eyes and…Continue Reading
PROMPTuesday #46: Humility
(Amazingly beautiful photo from Chad Pollpeter) I’ve got something to tell you…and will write it here tomorrow or soon after, but the gist is humility. So in honor of humbling myself today to (please God) be better, I’m adopting the theme for this week’s PROMPTuesday. Here it is: Write a story about when…Continue Reading
Bake Deliciously and Carry a Big Purse
One day, at a job I grew to hate because the executive director was replaced by an incompetent woman who wore too-small stilettos and carried teeny tiny purses (I don’t trust woman who carry teeny tiny purses every day — it’s unnatural), I did something decidedly San Diego Momma-like, before there ever was such a…Continue Reading
Me, Me, Me, Me, Me, Me ME!
These are some posts about me. This should have been up last week but see, I didn’t post this in time to win a $250 Target gift card, so I’m putting it up anyway to fart in the face of my inability to differentiate between 10:30PM EST and 10:30PM PST. Now I’ll never be…Continue Reading

Oh Fine…
I’m just gonna write, despite crippling “I suck today” ethers circulating about my person. By the way, did you notice I didn’t do this week’s PROMPT? Despite private email exchanges with Cheri urging her to stop being a pansy ass, I myself pansy assed out. Still, I’ll do it. Really, I will. But am I…Continue Reading
PROMPTuesday #45: You’re Published!
So I’ve revived my manuscript-in-progress, quite surprised to find I’m further along than I thought. Plus, I’ve corralled the journals, scraps, and napkins that link my plot like a cotton candy locomotive, and I’m incorporating the airy tufts, making them real. Best of all, I started to muse again. Gosh darn, I love this…Continue Reading
Are You in the Mood for Hysterics?
You’ve GOT to click here and check out Jessica Bern’s hilarious webisodes. They’re Larry David, Ellen-before-the-talk-show, and your best sassy friend all rolled up into one. Seriously. No. Not seriously. Hilariously. I promise.
Melodiusness
I’ve oft professed my undying love for music. As an angsty adolescent, I laid in bed with earphones every night, my yellow Sony walkman clasped in my hands, listening to the Little River Band’s Help is On the Way or Chicago’s I’ve Been Searching So Long. Way before that, as a new-to-school third-grader, I stuck…Continue Reading
World Water Week ’09: San Diego Style
From March 22-28, 2009, restaurants all over San Diego will charge one dollar to bring you tap water. The good news is that this dollar will provide clean and safe drinking water for a child in Africa for 40 days, which is something I think most of us can afford to do. If you…Continue Reading
