growing-up realizing moments
I have these "pinch me" moments when I realize I got to be the thing I wanted to be growing up. I'm right where I belong.
divorce
I have the best divorce of anyone I've heard of.
nice
There's nothing wrong with keeping your mouth shut if you don't have anything nice to say.
daughter responsibility thinking
I think it has as much to do with honoring my own voice as it does with feeling a responsibility to my readers or my daughters.
daughter kids people
We dated in our early 20s, when we were working at the same newspaper. We broke up, got back together and broke up again. I wanted to get married and have kids, but he wasn't ready. So I married someone else, had my daughters and the marriage ended ... and there was Bill. He'd never gotten married and was finally, finally ready. We discovered that we were still each other's favorite people to talk to.
tunes three trouble
I can carry a tune with a three-note range. Once I'm out of that range, I'm in trouble.
nice writing tuesday
There's something really nice about writing something on Wednesday and watching it being performed live for a studio audience on Tuesday. You never really get that with novels.
rocks machines coke
They say - "they" being the great philosophers, or possibly the cast of Seinfeld - that breaking up is like pushing over a Coke machine. You can't just do it, you have to set the thing in motion, rock it back and forth a few times.
looks world stuff
There's all kinds of love in the world, and not all of it looks like the stuff in greeting cards.
