Absent Blogger

I haven’t posted since last November, but I have an excuse! I started a memoir in January and I’ve been toiling away at that and sadly avoiding my blog. One would think I could manage both, but somehow I couldn’t wrap my head around two different writing exercises at the same time. As if I might bleed the creativity that I needed for the memoir into the blog. Or I just lacked the mental coordination – from age, too much wine, too many teenagers (hence the former). But in my defense, taking on a memoir was a big project. I hadn’t ever committed to something on that scale before and frankly, it was intimidating. I probably would have neglected my blog (which I love) indefinitely if I hadn’t been coaxed into creating this website and told I needed some new posts once it went live. This post is really just an fyi. I did write another one recently called The New Garden which you can read below. Please browse my website and subscribe with your email on the sidebar to the right of this page so you automatically receive my blog posts. I promise to post more regularly! As for the memoir, I’m hoping to be finished by Christmas. You can read a description of it on the

“Works in Progress” page on this website. Thanks for your support!
