Women Who Write

Thank you for the push, Tauna.

I'm slacking a bit on this New Year's Resolution of mine to "blog" more often. But Tauna emailed me today requesting a post. And then Natalie tells me she's been checking, too, and has been disappointed that it hasn't been updated in awhile. So, despite the fact that I really should go to bed, here I am.

Tonight I've been inspired (for lack of a less-cheesy word) by other women who write. I found out that my former high school English teacher, Ms. Jackovin (she hasn't been my teacher since 1998, but I still can't bring myself to call her Mary!), has written a book about her mom's battle with cancer. Whoa. That's some serious stuff. I read an excerpt online and was sobbing by the end of the first page. I think it's really cool that she's honoring her mother this way. It reminds me of the power of words.

Aroea sent me a little piece she wrote about politics for me to take a look at, too. I like being able to share in the process. I love having so many writer friends!

All this brings me to is this: Tauna, we really need to get working on our book!!
