Breadcrumbs
Aurora cries when she’s hungry, and when she’s tired and not tired, and when she wants to be changed, and when she wants attention, and when the music-playing mobile in her crib stops playing music, and when Avery is too … Continue reading
Fearless
I want to be like Avery when I grow up. He sticks his head underwater and keeps his eyes open. He jumps and expects someone to catch him (and mostly, someone does). He doesn’t follow instructions; he makes his own rules. … Continue reading
Funk
I’ve been in a funk this week, and I wish I could simply blame the weather or the rain or the mosquitoes or the kids or writing or something other than … well, nothing. I have no reason for being … Continue reading

And sometimes I write fiction
NAP Magazine, which will publish my first chapbook in January 2012, accepted and published a short piece of my fiction. The story appears in issue 1.4 of NAP, which came out yesterday, Sept. 14. I might return to these characters … Continue reading
Actual blogging
I have neglected the actual blog part lately. I could list several reasons, each less true than the one before it, and why do that when I can just say that I’ve been writing posts in my head but I … Continue reading
Migraines
You have gotten migraines since you were a child, but you think they are under control. You don’t even tell me about your history of migraines until one causes you to throw up at work. You can’t see well enough … Continue reading
