Catherine Egan's Blog. I was at the playground with my kids a couple of years ago and some very toned-looking moms were talking about going to the gym. Finally I said, a bit pathetically, How do you all manage to. I myself had not Formally Exercised since my first pregnancy. One of my friends said, When you’re taking care of little kids all day, you can do. And I’d made my choice. But I also think happiness is not necessarily the point of all this living we do. And it is, that really is our sofa, but it’...

Catherine Egan's Blog. Monthly Archives: October 2014. Tag, I’m It! The Writing Process Blog Tour. I know what you’re going to say. Aren’t I in the middle of my own blog tour right now? And didn’t I do one of these blog hop thingies about a year ago? Yes, you’re right on both counts. But THIS is different, because I was tagged by Lena Coakley. And do you want to know what the odds are of me ever saying No to Lena Coakley about anything? I first read her novel. Next to the Crystal Kite award. I am writing...

Catherine Egan's Blog. Monthly Archives: April 2015. A trick of the light. We were lying in bed early in the morning, the light coming through the curtains and illuminating a corner of blanket. My four-year-old said, Look! He reached for the curling corner of light and at the same moment his brother rolled over, moving the blanket, and that bright loop was gone. The four-year-old scrambled around the bed looking for it, frantic. I saw a pink ribbon! He wept. It’s in the bed but I can’t find it! Another t...

Catherine Egan's Blog. The world has always been this way. Instead of working, I’m checking the news from Paris every few minutes like me sitting here and freaking out is going to help anybody anywhere. Because they are so, so lucky. And eventually (soon? I don’t know) I have to start telling them about the Terrible World, and then we have to have conversations about how to live in it. Now they are out for blood, like they always are. I don’t have anything to say about it. There was this article. Http:/ ...

Catherine Egan's Blog. Kissing and Fireballs: the complexities of co-authorship. Of Sweet Valley High or something (kissing comes up at random moments). The props: J. clutches a tattered copy of. And wields a foam sword. A. has constructed a sword out of cardboard and has taped various other toy weapons to his body and has a loop of rope slung over his shoulder. K. is wearing a cape and superhero mask and has a lightsaber, but he is currently sitting at my feet drawing dinosaurs. J: Pretend I do, too!

Catherine Egan's Blog. Monthly Archives: May 2014. My Very Exciting (to me) Book Deal News. I don’t usually use my blog to announce things mainly because I don’t usually have anything to announce but here I am, adjusting my tie, polishing my megaphone: I! Practicing understatement since it’s not like you can see the little jig I’ve been jigging for days now* …. The Publisher’s Weekly announcement is here. If you are interested in that sort of thing. Jigs another jig, very quietly*. May 29, 2014. He put b...

Catherine Egan's Blog. The Mirror, the Window, the Axe: thoughts on love & books. When the #weneeddiversebooks hashtag started trending on twitter, it offered a vivid picture of what it would be like if you were a kid with that hunger to see yourself in books but couldn’t find anybody like you. What if you are a girl who loves other girls but there are no stories about that at all in the library? What if you are a black kid who loves sci fi and every hero in every book you read is white? Known that’s jus...
