Seven Miles to Nowhere: April 2010

http://7milestonowhere.blogspot.com/2010_04_01_archive.html

Seven Miles to Nowhere. Writer. Mother. Wannabe Foodie. Not necessarily in that order. I have 11 more days in the classroom and just over a month until the big move. Then we're off on a 2300 mile trek across the mid-west and southeastern parts of the country. (400 miles of which will include the cat.) Yesterday, I submitted the final paperwork for the dissertation. Once I pay the $96 dollars to deposit, it will be officially done. Finally. Stick around.something new is coming. All about: last dance.

Seven Miles to Nowhere: March 2010

http://7milestonowhere.blogspot.com/2010_03_01_archive.html

Seven Miles to Nowhere. Writer. Mother. Wannabe Foodie. Not necessarily in that order. A Farewell to Arms.er, uh.stuff. There's a for sale sign in front of our house. That was harder to take in than we thought it would be. Our little house isn't really ours any more. Starting Wednesday, people will parade through it to measure it up and decide if they want it. I'm not really ready for this. Curl up with at night.). They're going to be someone else's future. Because it's time for a new trade.

Seven Miles to Nowhere: Newtown is Our Town

http://7milestonowhere.blogspot.com/2012/12/newtown-is-our-town.html

Seven Miles to Nowhere. Writer. Mother. Wannabe Foodie. Not necessarily in that order. Newtown is Our Town. There is a scene in the play Warhorse. Later in the play, a German officer gets hold of the main character- a horse called Joey- and saves him. Where another officer would have that horse charge senselessly into another barrage of machine gun fire, this. It's the moment when the history of war is confronted with the future- the moment when the deadly nature of technology is made startlingly visible.

Seven Miles to Nowhere: 7-7-7 meme

http://7milestonowhere.blogspot.com/2012/03/7-7-7-meme.html

Seven Miles to Nowhere. Writer. Mother. Wannabe Foodie. Not necessarily in that order. Tagged me for a meme and I thought it was kind of fun:. 1 Go to p. Age 77 of your current MS. 2 Go to line 7. 3 Copy down the next 7 lines – sentences or paragraphs – and post them as they’re written. No cheating. 4 Tag 7 authors. 5 Let them know. But everyone that day noticed the birds. Now I want to read on to see what happens and why the birds are swirling in the windless day and where theyll go next. 22 March, 2012.

Seven Miles to Nowhere: A Virtue I Don't Possess

http://7milestonowhere.blogspot.com/2011/04/virtue-i-dont-possess.html

Seven Miles to Nowhere. Writer. Mother. Wannabe Foodie. Not necessarily in that order. A Virtue I Don't Possess. So here's the thing- I have the patience of a gnat. No, really. I'm so bad that I tend to read the ends of books because I don't want to wait to see what happens. Sacrilege, I know. But the publishing industry is absolute torture for someone like me. I'm all about the instant gratification of knowing. I don't even care if it's bad news, as long as I know. All about: the write life.

Seven Miles to Nowhere: July 2011

http://7milestonowhere.blogspot.com/2011_07_01_archive.html

Seven Miles to Nowhere. Writer. Mother. Wannabe Foodie. Not necessarily in that order. Children Are Not Adults. In early June, Megan Cox Gurdon wrote what has become a much debated article for the Wall Street Journal. About whether YA literature has become too dark. (You can read the original article here. In the days and weeks that have followed, Twitter and the rest of the interwebs have exploded with discussions about the issue. It made me, finally, want to respond. Now I'm not saying that literature ...

Seven Miles to Nowhere: Upon Penalty of Death

http://7milestonowhere.blogspot.com/2011/04/upon-penalty-of-death.html

Seven Miles to Nowhere. Writer. Mother. Wannabe Foodie. Not necessarily in that order. Upon Penalty of Death. I'd like to preface this post with a warning. You really, really. Shouldn't tell me any of the following:. Everything happens for a reason. It's all part of God/Yahweh/Ganesh/whomever's plan. You do have a job- you're a mom. Everything happens for a reason. (seriously- I hate that one.). So it's been a while, eh? But I think I've worked my way through it finally. (insert applause here). But, hey,...

Seven Miles to Nowhere: June 2011

http://7milestonowhere.blogspot.com/2011_06_01_archive.html

Seven Miles to Nowhere. Writer. Mother. Wannabe Foodie. Not necessarily in that order. Like a writer. I felt like an unemployed professor. I felt like since that other thing failed so miserably when it should have worked, I didn't see how this impossible thing could possibly work. I thought. This past Saturday, my local RWA chapter, Southern Magic. Had a panel of YA authors that featured Jennifer Echols. Don't get me wrong- I was a pretty decent academic. I've got the CV to prove it, even if I don't ...
