Half-Alive

I hate the way I feel when I’m not in a book. Half-alive at best, and no one seems to understand. I’m resisting jumping into the next book, trying to get some things done around the house, re-connect with some beloved people, live a bit of real life. But I feel like most of me […]

Why is This Such a Big Deal?

I’m going to get on my soapbox, just for a little while. This was taken from a report on CNN.com, about a rift in the Anglican Communion, which I know very little about, but I’m going to comment anyway.

Ask Me if I Care

No, seriously. Ask me. I’m thirty-five today. Whoopty-doo. I can’t even think of anything else to say. 187,400 is the word count. That’s a pretty significant cut. But I don’t care, and I can’t even face opening it. My dog wants out. Again. Friday night is the one-year anniversary of the last time my husband
